Eight years after its reveal, Dead Island 2 may finally see the light of day
A rece🌜nt investor Q&A strongly hints the🐻 troubled zombie game will ship by March 2023.

Eight years after its reveal, the long-awaited 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dead Island 2 may finally release. The news came out of a by publisher Deep🌳 Silver and parent com⛦pany Embrace Group, with the company’s CEO hinting that Dead Island 2 will likely release during the company’s next fiscal year. For those of you who aren’t accountants, the fiscal year ends on March 21st 2023.
The answer came 🃏as part of a slightly cryptic investor Q&A exchange, where a💫 question was asked about the missing in action zombie sequel.
“It very clearly is [still alive]," the Q&A host said, 🌠referring to Dead Island 2, before conಞtinuing “and I at least expect the release...next financial year..”
“So, is that reasonable, and what can we expect from a titౠle that has been in development for probably 10 years or so?” added the host.
“I can’t talk abou🅰t Dead Island 2 because it’s not announced as such from the publisher,” Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors replied: “But we have just talked about [that] we have one unannounced AAA title… that you think is Dead Island 2, so it’s hard for me to comment further on that. But I am excited about unannounced titles,”
While this is far from an official confirmation, it spells surprisingly good news for a game that many assumed would never see the light of day. Dead Island 2 was first announced in 2014. After debuting with an eye-catching trailer, no further footage of the game has been see𝔍n. The zombie sequel was originally being developer by Spec Ops: The Line creators Yager, before later being handed to Sumo Digital. Unfortunately, it seems Sumo also ran into troubles with the title, with development of the game being h𝄹anded over a third time, to Homefront: The Revolution creators, Dambuster in 2019.
This vague conversation isn’t the only bi𒁏t of positive Dead Island 2 news that’s being doing the rounds recently. Industry insider Tom Henderson last week reported that the game is in good shape, stating in a that “A release date is expected to be somewhere in Q4 2022, possibly leading up to next year if there are any problems with the development cycl♒e.”

Henderson even teased some details of Dead Island 2’s plot: “You’re on a plane and there’s a zombie outbreak on a plane… eventually the plane crashes into H൩ollywood, you survive and it’s then your job to survive on the ground.”
Dead Island 2 being brought back from the dead feels fitting, really. Keep it locked to Gamesr⛎adar for more news on the troubled zombie RPG as we get it.
