All Dead Island 2 pre-order and special edition bonuses

It’s been a long time coming, but Dead Island 2‘s release is right around the corner and it’s finally going to be a reality. The hype around this game is real, mostly because many fans had written it off completely. In anticipation of the game, many players are curious about what kind of benefits they’ll get if they pre-order the game or buy special editions.

Here’s all the information you need to know about all of the Dead Island 2 special edition bonuses and other rewards.

What do you get if you pre-order Dead Island 2?

There are different versions of Dead Island 2 that you can pre-order and we’ll go into each edition below. However, as long as you at least purchase the base version, you’ll get the following benefits when you play the game, including:

• Banoi War Club
• Memories of Banoi Baseball Bat
