Description

Stage dive into the heart of SoLA, the ultimate Californian music festival, built upon ancient grounds...
Stalking the pulsating heart of LA's final rave is a psychedelic beat that has unleashed total chaos, leaving nothing but a rotting crater of gore and a malevolent presence haunting the shadows. Something is out there and it’s still hungry.
Are you ready to face the music and battle the darkness that raves at the edge of reality? Find out in this second story expansion for Dead Island 2.

New Story


A deadly virus sweeps through The Valley, turning its inhabitants into ravenous zombies as a chthonic rhythm calls from beyond: the beat of the Autophage. Lured to the festival by an enigmatic warning message, players must explore SoLA’s ruins and put a stop to this otherworldly menace.

New Location


A visceral, gore-drenched music festival in the heart of LA (or HELL-A, as we like to call it) echoing to the sound of The Beat which threatens to turn the living into zombies, and with the potential to be heard across the world.

New Enemies


Whipper - a new apex variant enemy, driven mad with self-loathing by the Autophage. Their compulsion to self-mutilate has turned them into a horrific nightmare of disembowelled intestines, allowing them to lash out at range!

Clotter – another new unsettling apex zombie, that can decompose into a revolting pile of gore, making it immune from damage in that form, and then reform elsewhere to continue the fight. Capable of firing a powerful jet of putrid blood from their heart!

New Legendary Weapons


Ripper – The deadly fusion of a baseball bat and circular saw into a percussive machine of dismemberment.

Sawblade Launcher – A heavy weapon that fires rotary sawblades, the perfect weapon for ranged decapitation and dismemberment.

If I had to describe the SoLA DLC in one sentence, it would be "techno, gore, and awesome vibes". I really don't understand why so many people dislike this DLC. I loved the colorful scenery, the two new enemy types

The only good thing in this dlc was the map. I really liked the theme. Besides that I didn’t like the dlc. A lot of walking, story didn’t make a lot of sense and I hated the boss fight.

Without a somewhat decent narrative or even interesting objectives, this just feels like a pointless DLC that adds nothing but wasted time. Avoid.

This DLC is extremely anti-single-player. It's apparent to me that the designers hate single players as much as the IDF hates the Global Sumud Flotilla. After my I sent the "Beat" file to Cadenza, every time I enter

This dlc is just not it. The length is far too short, took me 2 hours to do the actual story, whereas the final boss fight took the same time. It wasnt even worth it either, and theres still nothing on tisha. The ripper
