In 2016, Sumo Digital took over developmental duties, only for the British studio to also abandon the project two or three years later. Dead Island 2 was originally going to be made by Yager, the same team that gave the world the exceptional and harrowing Spec Ops: The Lineback in 2012, but creative differences forced the publishers and developers apart. So why have things taken so long to materialize? The main reason seems to be that although Deep Silver has been keen on a sequel, retaining any consistency with regard to the proposed title's developers has been a trickier task. While nothing was explicitly stated, the impression was that neither Embracer nor Deep Silver had given up hope on the project. In February of this year, during a presentation at Embracer, the company that owns Deep Silver and recently acquired a host of other valuable studios, it was cryptically teased by Embracer SEO Lars Wingefors that there were still plans for a release at the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023.
Dead Island 2 will be out on 28 April for Xbox Series, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC (Epic Games Store).The good news is that publisher Deep Silver hasn't abandoned a sequel to the original Dead Island, with the next installment still slated for release some time in 2023. If you pre-order the game, you’ll receive a Memories of Banoi Pack, which features two unique weapons that celebrate the original Dead Island game and a special skill card. You can get a special Hell-A edition of the game which comes with the following: Plus, you get to control the game using Alexa Game Control this feature is only available on Xbox and PC in English for the US, Canada, and United Kingdom markets. Yeah, this is all starting to look like Dying Light but with bit more dark humour. You can even temporarily use “Z-Power” to become a powered-up zombie, where you’re faster and a tad more powerful. Taking a page from Dead Rising, you can even craft your own DIY weapons of mayhem. You’ll get access to a ton of weaponry like bear claws, hammers, and guns. In the new trailer, we get to see new gameplay full of parkour, exploring, vistas of “Hell-A” California, and a ton of zombies and melee kills, naturally. Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios just launched a new Dead Island 2 showcase.
