What’s the team planning to showcase? Well, so far we just have a description of “action, gore, and zombies.” Hopefully we get to see some details of what’s in store for the long-in-development sequel toDead Island.
Rising from the grave
It’s at least another sign of life from theDead Island 2project, which hasbeen in the worksforquite a long time at this point. We did get confirmation of a release date and details atGamescom earlier this year, but publisher Deep Silver confirmed last week that it’s been pushed from February out toApril 28, 2023.
“The irony of delaying Dead Island 2 is not lost on us, and we are as disappointed as you undoubtedly are,” reads astatementfrom Deep Silver on the delay. “The delay is just 12 short weeks and development is on the final straight now; we’re going to take the time we need to ensure we can launch a game we’re proud to launch. For those of you who’ve been waiting for years, thank you for hanging in there with us.”
More delays tacked ontoDead Island 2is one thing. But players also probably want to know what the game looks like after so many years. The zombie-smashing, weapon-crafting action ofDead Islandcould be pretty fun to play again. It’s just a matter of getting it onto platforms and out of the lab.
We’ll see if the showcase delivers on December 6.
