Dead Island 2's re-reveal is reportedly coming by the end of the year
According to reliable leaker Tom Henderson, fans might hear more about Dead Island 2 by the end of the year. As of this writing, there is no date given, but speculation points to Q4 2022 (October 31 - December 31). In that regard, fans won't have to wait long to learn more about the upcoming zombie survival game.
Originally mentioned in June 2014, PlayStation’s EA conference revealed the upcoming game. However, it was met with consistent delays, going from Yager Development to Sumo Digital, and is now being developed by Dambuster Studios.
According to Henderson, the information came from sources close to the project. The source further stated that The Games Awards would be an ideal occasion to announce further information regarding the game. With that being said, the title is reportedly in development as of writing.
Based on the currently released information, Dead Island 2 is expected to have a heavy focus on cooperative play, with several locations available for exploration.
Coupled with that, the game will sport an all-new cast of five to six characters. Coming with new settings, areas such as Hollywood and San Francisco will present a stark difference from the first game, which was set on just one island.
Following a Deep Silver and Embrace Group financial call, it was revealed that the game is expected to be out by March 31, 2022, but speculation is still rife.
