Dead Island 2 release date and screenshots accidentally leaked Deep SilverDead Island 2 has been a hotly anticipated title for almost a decade. The first Dead Island hit shelves in 2011, and was incredibly successful both critically and commercially. Since then, all we\u2019ve heard is that it\u2019s still in development. Until now. The announcement trailer hit in 2014, re-igniting hype for the series with its fun tone and gory presentation. Dead Island 2\u2019s trailer is so iconic that Goat Simulator 3 made a trailer parodying it to announce their game at the Summer 2022 Game Fest. Fans have been waiting for this one for a long time. While we have gotten some details on Dead Island 2 since its release (all of which you can find here), fans have been mostly left in the dark as to when we can expect this sequel. That is, until a recent leak. An accidental posting on Amazon came with not only a release date of February 3, 2023, but also a few screenshots of the game. Much like the initial trailer, Dead Island 2 seems to have kept its beach themed zombies, along with the craftable weapons that were a key part of the series. The cover really sells that over-the-top tone. Both an electrified machete and a wrench with nails attached to it were shown, along with some of the zombie designs. While these zombies were mostly \u201cnormal\u201d, there\u2019s also a bloated zombie that resembles the first game\u2019s \u2018Floater\u2019 zombie type. Changing hands The long, arduous development process for Dead Island 2 can likely be attributed to Techland being founded by many of the core developers behind the first Dead Island. Since Dead Island\u2019s release, they\u2019ve come out with both Dying Light and Dying Light 2. Seeing as both games have been viewed as spirtual successors to the original Dead Island, Dead Island 2 has a high set of expectations to live up to. Additionally, Dying Light 2\u2019s first expansion, Bloody Ties, has been announced with more details coming on August 23, 2022. Seeing as the projected release date is February 3 of next year, we\u2019re likely to see a lot more information on this one soon. For now, though, it\u2019s good to know that Dead Island 2 is almost out of the development hell it\u2019s been stuck in for over a decade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
