Well, if this isn't the greatest hint that we're going to be seeing something from Dead Island 2 during E3 2019, I don't know what is Being developed by Sumo Digital and published by Deep Silver, we haven't seen or heard much about this game since it went into development All we truly knew was[...]

Dead Island 2 has had one of the most torrid development cycles of a AAA game that I can remember in a long time The game was stripped from talented developer Yager not too long ago after years of work,  and it was then announced that Sumo Digital would be taking the reigns. However, that handover[...]

While I feel it is a franchise that has struggled to reach its potential, (and arguably developer Techland met it in Dying Light), there is more than enough to recommend Dead Island if you are looking for Zombie fun It was rough, but it had a silly charm to it. Well, hopefully, this newly announced Dead[...]

Dead Island 2 has been an incredibly troubled game It was revealed in 2013 at Sony's E3 press conference, but the game grew very quiet in the proceeding years Then it was announced that developer Yager had been taken off the project in July, 2015 It's not entirely clear what happened, but one must assume[...]

Techland invented the Dead Island series a few years ago, but left their baby to go make sleeper hit Dying Light, instead of taking on Dead Island 2 The latter, which continued production without Techland, hasn't gone so well for publisher Deep Silver though Developer Yager have recently been taken off the project, leaving the game[...]

Well this is disconcerting. Publisher Deep Silver have announced that they've dropped Yager as the developer on Dead Island 2 In a statement they said: With Dead Island 2, Deep Silver has always been dedicated to delivering the sequel that Dead Island fans deserve. After careful consideration, today we announce the decision to part ways with development partner Yager[...]

Unsurprisingly, the news today is that the game has been delayed We won't be seeing Deep Silver's[...]

Dead Island 2 has been missing in action for a while It was announced at E3 last year alongside a pretty effective trailer, but since then it has been pretty quiet from Deep Silver. That is why you might be surprised to know that the game is still slated for release this Spring With no sign[...]
