Dead Island 2 Release Date Is This Year According To Leak
A recent leak suggests that the long-awaited Dead Island 2, first announced back in 2014, will finally release in 2022. The original Dead Island, developed by Dying Light creator Techland and released in 2011, saw players battle hordes of zombies to escape the beautiful blood-soaked island of Banoi. Dead Island 2 has had three different developers since development began, with Dambuster Studios taking the reins in 2019.

First-person melee combat is complemented by randomly-generated weapons, each possessing their own qualities and modifications. Some zombies also possess special abilities, however, adding a terrifying random element to each encounter. While Dead Island 2 was announced in 2014, troubled development has plagued the survival horror sequel for years. A fake Dead Island 2 trailer teased the title's presence at E3 2021, but this was sadly proven to be a hoax.
