Game News Dead Island 2: a release planned for this year? The game is talking about him again!
In the big family of video game women from Arles, Dead Island 2 holds a special place. The game is announced, drum beating, in 2014 before disappearing from the radar screens, so that the game is inseparable from its famous presentation during the E3 of this same year. Every year, players watch for the slightest sign of life and, according to an insider, the project is in good shape and maybe even better!
For a couple of years now, a question has been coming up repeatedly: Dead Island 2 is he dead, alive or both? Players can be reassured, the encephalogram is far from flat even if the project is far from giving us reassuring news: in eight years, there is an announcement at E3 2014 and some gameplay sequences at the German fair, gamescom, in August 2014. At least, if we do not count the leaks from the 2015 playable version.
Last year, the project Dead Island 2 is like income from beyond the grave through two ads. The first one informed us that the game was heading towards next-gen consoles, namely PS5 and Xbox Series, in addition to the previous machines; while the secondshe was trying to reassure players through a response from publisher Deep Silver to a tweet. This time, it is on the side of the insider Tom Henderson that you have to look to learn more!
The hope of an exit is not buried!
Passed from hand to hand over the years, one would have thought that Dead Island 2 was heading towards a dark fate, like the one that awaits the zombies of the game, but the game might lose its “vaporware” status — is said of a game announced by its developers that never saw the light of day due to an incessant number of postponements — to finally see the light of day ! At least that’s what Tom Henderson, insider and freelance journalist, reports in a recent video.
As the VGC site mentions, the latter would have had the opportunity to talk with people working on the development of the game, telling him in passing that the process is on the right track. In addition to the information gleaned by Tom Henderson, the subject of a potential exit window was mentioned.
According to people I’ve been able to chat with, the game is well on its way and it could be announced quite soon, along with some kind of gameplay trailer (…) A release date (would) be expected somewhere leaves around the fourth quarter of 2022, or even next year if there are problems within the game’s development process.
If so, it could be that Deep Silver and the developers at Dambuster Studios are jumping at the chance of a big event to finally reveal to the world that Dead Island 2 is not dead. Besides, Tom Henderson was also able to get his hands on some elements related to the plot of the game and, more particularly, the beginning of the adventure.
You find yourself on a plane as an outbreak of zombies spreads. In the end, the plane loses control and crashes into Hollywood and you escape unscathed, and that’s when you have to survive on your own.
