I have been a big DEAD ISLAND fan since I first saw that amazing reverse-action trailer (which you can re-peep below) that dropped years ago now. I'm not even one for playing video games, but I had to check out that game asap after I watched the trailer until my eyes bled.
DEAD ISLAND was a success, but there still has yet to be a sequel to the game. News has been slow on the DEAD ISLAND 2 front. In fact, the last time we here at AITH reported on the sequel it was back in April of 2015. And even then the news was merely about the game being delayed.
Today we have news that the game is still in development. Deep Silver recently gave Eurogamer and an update on Dead Island 2.
Dead Island 2 is in development at Sumo Digital, and we are excited by the progress the team are making with Deep Silver's most successful IP. When we are ready to share more information, we will."
While that isn't much to go on at least it's something, and it's good to know the series didn't just fade away over the last few years. Whatever the future of DEAD ISLAND 2 may be, we'll keep you up to date on its progress.
