Dead Island 2 has arrived and Has a Release Date
Dead Island 2 would be set in Los Angeles and include six characters. You would be able to customize the abilities of each, making use of a skill system to create a different kinds of builds. There would be several varieties of zombies to bash right through, spanning “dozens of distinct zombie types, each with their own mutations, attacks and hundreds of LA-themed Variants”.

The Dead Island 2 that would be released next year might look a lot different from what we have previously seen. The much-anticipated and long-delayed title has switched hands three times ever since it first reared its head in a 2014 announcement trailer.
The Dead Island 2 was under development originally at Spec Ops: the line developer Yager, right before Sumo Digital – The studio that created Sackbody: A big Adventure announce that it had taken ownership of the project in the year 2016. Come 2019, however, publisher THQ Nordic revealed Homefront: The Revolution developer Dambuster Studios was working on the game.
We would be expecting some major changes since Dambuster took over the project. To begin with, Dead Island 2’s roster of playable characters have been expanded to about six, from the four initially announced back in 2014. Screenshots in the Amazon listing suggest the sequel would place its focus on Melee combat, just like its first game.

Given the sudden appearance of Amazon Listing and the Proximity of the game’s release date, we would not be shocked if Dead Island 2 appeared at Gamescom 2022. Although there would probably be no goats this time around, as memorable as the Goat Simulator 3 announcement was with its riff on the Dead Island 2.
