![]() For those of you who’ve been waiting for years, thank you for hanging in there with us.’ ![]() ‘The delay is just 12 short weeks and development is on the final straight now we’re going to take the time we need to make sure we can launch a game we’re proud to launch. ‘The irony of delaying Dead Island 2 is not lost on us, and we are as disappointed as you undoubtedly are,’ Dambuster and Deep Silver said in a joint statement on Twitter. The three-month delay will no doubt be disappointing to those eager, but there’s hope the extra time will help round out any rough edges for a more refined experience in the end. While originally set to launch in February 2023, it will now launch on 28 April 2023. In a statement, developer Dambuster Studios and publisher Deep Silver acknowledged the irony of pushing the game back, given it was stuck in development hell for nearly a decade, and reassured fans the extra time would give the game more polish and panache. Wingefors also didn't address the rumors that Sumo Digital was removed from working on the open world zombie game, so we don't know for sure who is even working on the project.Dead Island 2, the long-awaited sequel to 2011 hit Dead Island, has officially been delayed. Wingefors gave no indication as to how far along in development Dead Island 2 is at this point. Unfortunately, all Wingefors confirmed was that Dead Island 2 is still in development and that fans should stay tuned for more information. This was revealed by THQ Nordic CEO Lars Wingefors (THQ partly owns Deep Silver, the publisher of Dead Island 2), when he was talking about the company's upcoming games. ![]() Fans could be forgiven for assuming Dead Island 2 was canceled, but apparently that's not the case, and the game is still coming out for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. We were then treated to a Dead Island 2 gameplay demo not long after, but then momentum for the game fell off a cliff, and we haven't seen anything substantial about it for years. Dead Island 2 was first announced all the way back at Sony's E3 2014 presentation, where its trailer was met with a positive response from fans excited to see more open world zombie-killing action. ![]()
