Dead Island 2 Release Date: When And Where Can I Play it?Īlthough originally scheduled for a mid-2015 release, there is currently no timeline for the release of ‘Dead Island 2’. ‘Dead Island 2’ will be published by Deep Silver. However, they exited the project soon after to focus on the development of ‘Dying Light’ and were replaced by Berlin-based German video game studio Yager Development (best known for the military Third Person Shooter ‘Spec Ops: The Line’).īarely a couple of years later, the development team went through another reshuffle that saw Yager being replaced by UK based Sumo Digital (best known for ‘ Mortal Kombat 11’), who themselves were replaced earlier this year by Nottingham based developer Dambuster Studios, a subsidiary of Deep Silver and developers of 2016’s First Person Shooter (FPS) ‘Homefront: The Revolution’. Initially, franchise creator Techland was signed on to develop the sequel. The development of ‘Dead Island 2’ has been fraught with difficulties ever since it was first announced in 2014. Dead Island 2 Developers: Who Are the People Behind It? Surely, ‘Dead Island 2’ will seek to follow in that legacy and provide a more light-hearted and amusing experience to players. While games like ‘Dying Light’ take themselves very seriously, ‘Dying Light’ revels in its silliness and prefers to take a much more humorous approach to the zombie apocalypse. However, one way we can expect ‘Dead island 2’ to distinguish itself from the rest of the pack is through its story. These include an enhanced movement system with parkour for easy and fun traversal across large sprawling cities, enhanced Role Playing Game (RPG) mechanics with deeper customization, skill trees, and weapon crafting, and better zombie variety.
The game made plenty of improvements to the open-world zombie formula, many of which we can expect to see in ‘Dead Island 2’.
Developed by the same people responsible for creating ‘Dead Island’ in the first place, Polish video game developer Techland, ‘Dying Light’ is something of a spiritual successor to the ‘Dead Island’ franchise. 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. 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.
