In order to get an idea about what ‘Dead Island 2’ could be like, we would do well to look towards another game – 2015’s ‘Dying Light’. In order to make it work, the developers will certainly have to add their own unique spin to the formula. While the island paradise setting was somewhat unique for a zombie survival game back in 2011, the urban jungle theme is fairly played out by now with games like ‘State of Decay’, ‘Dead Rising 3’ and ‘Dying Light’ hitting a lot of the same notes. The decision to change the setting of the franchise could potentially have far-reaching consequences. The virus has spread to California, and the entire state has become a quarantine zone as designated by the United States Armed Forces. The game is a direct sequel to the original ‘Dead Island’, taking place only a couple of months after the events of the first game. However, ‘Dead Island 2’ reportedly trades in the island paradise setting, in the first game, in favor of three distinct locations in California – sunny Los Angeles, vibrant San Francisco and another as-yet-undisclosed location in California itself.
We don’t have a lot of first-hand information about ‘Dead Island 2’ from publisher Deep Silver, and it is somewhat unclear if the vision for the game is still the same as five years ago. The game has been stuck in development hell for so long that we must now ask the question – Will there even be a ‘Dead Island 2’? Read on to find out everything we know. Publisher Deep Silver has teased ‘Dead Island 2’ for a long time now, but we are yet to see any indication of a final product.
We are going to share more updates with you as we have it.But the game that all fans have been wanting for the best part of a decade now is a full-blown sequel to the original game. Earlier Kundratitz revealed that the delay is because, they are really dedicated to getting the game right, and from whats going on in the world right now, because of Coronavirus, the game might get further delayed to Fall 2021 or later.Īs of now, there is no trailer or news on Dead Island 2, the game originally confirmed in 2014, during E3, and it has been over six years, there is not much to go on for now.
We are expecting Dead Island 2 to come out by Fall 2021 on the next-gen consoles, such as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. There hasn’t been anything else revealed about it. For the time being, we just wanted to get the word out that it’s coming and it’s going to be great.” This is good news for the fans of both of these games. He explained, “Saints Row is very close to our hearts, and we’ll talk about it next year. Moreover, Kundratitz also confirmed that another studio, Volition, is still working on a new Saints Row game rather than a sequel to its spin-off Agents of Mayhem. He further added its a great story to tell everyone that it’s on its third studio, but we like to be judged on the end result, and we’re really confident that when it comes out, it’s going to be a kick-ass zombie game.
