Dead Island 2 is finally coming to consoles and PC following Amazon leak

sportskeeda.com:

The much-awaited Dead Island 2 is infamous for being stuck in development hell for nearly a decade. The first-person open-world survival horror game was unveiled all the way back in 2014. But with the exception of a leaked 2015 build and announcements of the project changing multiple hands, there has been nothing but radio silence on that front.

However, a recent leak has managed to break that silence, delivering a beam of hope for fans of the zombie RPG series. Dead Island 2: Day One Edition was spotted on an Amazon listing by Wario64. It also featured a few in-engine screenshots, a detailed description of the game's premise, and, most importantly, a release date of February 3, 2023.

Note: This information is based on leaks and is subject to change.

Players who are unfamiliar with the previous entries should check out the leaked build from 2015 to know what to expect. But the game has come a long way since then, and a handful of screenshots showcase as much. It looks to be in line with other similar modern games like Dying Light 2: Stay Human.

Here is the full product description:

Features:

Deep Silver confirmed back in 2019 that the game was still in development but under a new subsidiary called Dambuster Studios - which is reflected in the leaked box art as well. The studio previously worked on the open-world FPS Homefront: The Revolution. Another 2021 update (via the above tweet) confirmed that the project is still underway.

If the leaked details are to be entertained, then Dead Island 2 will launch on February 3, 2023, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The latter platform will allegedly have the game as an Epic Games Store exclusive, like the upcoming Saints Row reboot.
