How to start over and create a new character in Dead Island 2? Where to start a new game and keep the previous save in Dead Island 2? Over the past few days, perhaps one or two players from the new zombie shredder from Deep Silver, who has created the first character and would now like to change the “butcher”, will be dealing with these questions. There are six different characters in the game, differing in both attributes and abilities. In this short guide we will show you how to start over and start a new game in Dead Island 2.
Start new game in Dead Island 2
If you are not satisfied with the chosen character in Dead Island 2 and would like to start over again, you can simply create a second saved game by selecting the “Butcher” menu item in the main menu. Under the “Butcher” menu item you will find six butcher slots that you can use to create six saved games. You don’t have to delete the previously created character, you can simply set a new butcher and start the game again. Importantly, you cannot transfer story progress, items you’ve found and crafted, or other weapons from one character to another.
You can also use the “Butcher” menu to delete characters or butchers that have already been created. To do this, select the character and press the F2 button (PC version), triangle button (PlayStation) or the Y button (Xbox).
Tip: In Dead Island 2, weapons have a limited durability. However, the broken weapons can be repaired at the workbench and thus continue to be used.
