Dead Island 2 is still under development, more news/details coming soon

THQ Nordic has announced during its quarterly financial earnings report video presentation that Dead Island 2 is still under active development. The publisher claimed that the game is still worked on and that everyone should stay tuned for more details and news about it.

Although nothing has been confirmed yet, our guess is that THQ Nordic will soon reveal more details about it. We are not certain whether this will happen during E3 or Gamescom, however the publisher has already a lot of games that have not been announced or revealed yet. A couple of days ago, THQ Nordic stated that it has 80 games in development, of which 48 titles are currently unannounced.

The last time we heard about Dead Island 2 was back in 2018 when its official Twitter account claimed that the game was still alive. Dead Island 2 was originally developed by Yager who was dropped from the project in 2015.

The first gameplay footage for Dead Island 2 was unveiled in 2014 and I’m pretty sure that the game does not look anything like that. Still, it will be interesting to see whether its new developer aims to build on what Yager had developed back then or whether it has made a completely different game.

Stay tuned for more!

      1. Exactly, I honestly think the game is going to be amazing.

        I have a feeling it might even hold us off till Cyberpunk 2077, could be that good. Fingers crossed hey, word is it will be fully playable at E3 in a a few weeks.

      1. Apparently the release date will be announced at this year’s E3 + be fully playable and some are saying a November release that are/where contractors on the project.

        I want to believe. Having said that since it is such an ambitious and massive project I think your right and have my doubts as well for a 2019 release. One thing you can bet on though is that it will come out before Dead Island 2.

        15 – 17 days to go and we will all know, fingers crossed.

  1. YAY ANOTHER ZOMBIE GAME. BECAUSE WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH OF THOSE.

    Also chromeland should just make a open world chrome 2.

    1. yeah! we need more generic military online shooters with loot boxes and batlle royale with battle passes! how dare they make a game for a popular genre, what do they want to make money or something? gross!

  2. Hmmm idk about this one, imho Techland already created the best fpp melee combat system out there and without them I just don’t know. Tbh I have higher hopes for Dying Light 2.

    1. Yeah, I feel the same way. I personally really like Dead Island(still play it all the time), the Definitive Collection edition that was remade in the Dying Light engine is super solid and is 100% worth getting.

      With out Techland I really don’t think it will be the same game or come close. Don’t get me wrong I hope it turns out to be rad but I don’t have high hopes for it.
