Dead Island 2 chapters list: All levels to progress main story

For those wondering if there’s more to do than just the story, worry not! There are a load of side quests to complete, too, and doing so will go a long way towards earning that platinum trophy.

Read on below to find out how many Dead Island 2 chapters there are and for the full list of levels that progress the main story.

How many Dead Island 2 chapters are there?

There are 24 story chapters in Dead Island 2. You will need to complete all of them to finish the game and see what happens to everyone in this zombie-infested version of LA.

On the start-up menu of the game, before you load your save, you should spot a progress bar with a number showing how many story missions you’ve completed. This should be in the top right-hand of the screen and should read like “5/24” if you’ve completed five of the main story missions already.

Given the quick loading screens of the Xbox Series X/S and PS5, however, you may miss this little detail. Fortunately for you, we’ve listed the full lot of all 24 chapters down below for you to peruse in your own time.
