Yager's first-person open-world zombie apocalypse fantasy Dead Island 2 will enter beta testing on the PlayStation 4 prior to the Xbox One and PC, according to the game's
unassuming FAQ.
The timed exclusivity was discovered by players who pre-ordered the recent Escape Dead Island spin-off from America's GameStop (our EB Games) and received a bonus code for an eventual Dead Island 2 beta test. Those attempting to redeem the code found an official notice that reads, "Those who have selected PS4 as their platform of choice for the Dead Island 2 beta will receive access 30 days before Xbox One and PC users."
Unfortunately, there's no word on when the beta might start and publisher Deep Silver has yet to reveal any additional methods to enter the test. We expect more information soon, as Dead Island 2 is slated to debut in early 2015.
