Developers Dambuster Studios have revealed that Dead Island 2 is getting some big changes with the release of Patch 6, scheduled for October 22. The update will introduce New Game+ and the all-new Neighborhood Watch horde mode.
The first one was loudly requested by the community, which will soon be satisfied. As usual, it will allow you to start a new game while keeping your progress. In addition, the maximum level will be increased and an additional skill slot will be added, along with new enemies, skins, weapons and an additional difficulty level calibrated upwards.

Neighborhood Watch is a horde-style co-op mode where players take on the role of the Bobcats and are tasked with defending their neighborhood and their brotherhood headquarters from waves of zombies. Players will have to take on missions, place traps, and gradually accumulate increasingly powerful equipment and skills, in preparation for the fifth and final day of resistance, where the zombies will unleash their most ferocious assault yet.
The developer post also states that this mode will also feature “crazy skins, a new environment, new weapons, and new gameplay mechanics,” with more details likely to arrive in the coming weeks.
