Happy Dead Island 2 day everybody! I'm more than excited to see how our community will come together and grow as we all learn how to speedrun the new game. That being said, neither Banz nor myself have beaten (or played lol) the game yet, so until we're able to adequately create a rule-set, we'll hold for a few days before verifying any DI2 runs. Feel free to submit runs, but the verification process will be on hold, and you're run may not be accepted/denied until the rules are in place. I'll make an announcement when Banz and I are ready to start verifying runs, and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! Thanks everyone, and enjoy Dead Island 2!

Boards have been updated, please bear with us while we continue to iron out the rules!

Yes, the version released for ps4 and ps5 is definitive edition.

Hey RedFalco,

Sorry to hear about your VOD, the Dead Island speedruning community had a bit of a rough patch for a while and lacked moderators and a competent leaderboard, so a few runs were removed during the remodel of the leaderboards. I took your run off the leaderboards so hopefully everything looks better, I also added the link to the DI discord server if you wanted to join. Thanks!

Dead Island for ps4 and Xbox one fall under the definitive category, since only the definitive edition was released for those consoles

As of right now, I don't think anyone has routed 100% yet.

Vanilla and Definitive are different enough in gameplay that we decided to split it up into different categories, but the boards got a little messed up when we made the split. I'll message one of the moderators and see if they can try to fix it.
