Dead Island 2 release date: Pre-order, trailer and developer interview
After nearly 10 years and a very troubled development, it looks as if Dead Island 2 is actually going to be released soon.
Yes, the game notorious for its lengthy production cycle has had the last laugh: its release date has been moved forwards(!) by a week.
First announced back in 2014, Dead Island 2 is now being developed by Dambuster Studios (2021's Chorus and 2016's Homefront: The Revolution) and has now shown lengthy gameplay footage of the long-awaited sequel.
RadioTimes.com got to try out the game and chat with the developers at Gamescom 2022 as you can see in the video above, which offers a neat and spoiler-free introduction to the game.
