Shared with media outlets via press release, Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios have confirmed that Dead Island 2 has sold over one million copies after three days of sales, with over 11 million total hours played.

What were they all doing in that time, though? Well, as you might already expect, it involes a lot of killing and a lot of dying. It is called Dead Island 2, after all.
After just three days in Hell-A, well over one billion zombies have been slayed by Dead Island 2 players. We don’t know how many of those kills were using the best Dead Island 2 weapons, but you have to imagine quite a few.
