There have been absolutely no updates regarding the title for months, but we do not expect Deep Silver to just give up on the project. Until then, we just need to wait and watch. Both Apex and PUBG have tried zombie-centric modes, and they have been successful, so who knows, it just might work.Īssuming that Dead Island 2 is still in development, we can expect the release date to be confirmed in the next E3, which is sometime next June. But we doubt that behemoths like Apex Legends and PUBG will be toppled anytime soon. PvP is highly unlikely unless the developers want to cash in on the battle royale hype. Different characters will have their unique roles, and we expect new characters with new abilities to feature in Dead Island 2. There will also be some movie-themed weapons which will feature in the upcoming title.Ĭo-op gameplay is bound to make a comeback. There are plenty of locations that we would like to explore, and the trailer does look promising. One of the biggest issues with many zombie shooters is that you can get away with long-range fights, which take away the thrill and excitement of being ripped by a zombie.įrom what we have seen, we will be going to Los Angeles in the next game. Close combat fights have always felt engaging.

We do not expect the core gameplay of Dead Island 2 to change all that much. But there is nothing to indicate that the new studio will be sticking to what was shown in the E3 trailer from last year. We did receive a trailer which you can check out below. They were excited to reveal all the information they had about Deep Silver’s best-selling IP, but we never received any gameplay specifics. Sumo Digital was next in line to take up the project. The studio shut down, and Managing Director Timo Ullman revealed that he was shocked at the cancellation of the project. We do not know the specifics of the decision, but Yager studios were pulled out of their contract out of nowhere. Yager Productions was set to make the sequel of the game, but the development phase came to a halt out of nowhere. The original Dead Island was set in a beautiful island in California with plenty of zombies to ruin your plans of strolling through the scenic landscapes.
