Hopefully, the official release date will come to light at E3, where the game is set for its big reveal in just a few weeks time. Also, the amazon date was spot on for Modern Warfare 3, so we are hoping that this is the case with Deep SilverвЂ™s Dead Island. release date while UK retailer .uk also has a listing of September 2011 for UK customers. While Amazon isnвЂ™t the official source for release date information, also give the game a an August 1 U.S. release date is also listed on Amazon, but it states that the game will be released much earlier, on August 1, 2011. The online retailer has given Dead Island a release date of September 30, 2011, on its UK website, where the game is available for pre-order. So it's very much on their minds it's just a matter of when it'll finally release.After letting the cat out of the bag for the November 8 release date of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, it is possible that Amazon has done exactly the same for upcoming first-person-zombie-melee-epic, Dead Island. It's worth noting that THQ Nordic, who acquired Deep Silver in 2018, listed Dead Island 2 among as an upcoming game for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, seeing as Dead Island 2 is now being developed by Dambuster Studios (via IGN) Sumo Digital is no longer working on the zombie game, not even as a support studio. But after Crackdown 3 and Team Sonic RacingВ released, Sumo Digital should've begun work on Dead Island 2.

Given that they've been busy, it was possible that Sumo Digital didn't have the time to dedicate to Dead Island 2. In the years since Sumo Digital was hired to develop Dead Island 2, they've worked on the Hitman and Forza series, as well as fully develop Crackdown 3, which itself saw a number of delays before finally releasing in February 2019. It wasn't a year later, though, that Sumo Digital took over development on Dead Island 2, but seemingly working on the game for over three years now, they have yet to produce anything to the public. A few months after missing the planned spring 2015 release, Dead Island 2 received a huge setback when Deep Silver removed Yager as the sequel's developer.ДЄs expected in every type of entertainment industry, Yager and Deep Silver split on Dead Island 2 due to creative differences. Of course, they withheld some information until they were ready to show more closer to launch, but the thing is, that launch never came.

Deep Silver originally announced Dead Island 2 during Sony's E3 2014 press conference and said they planned on releasing the sequel sometime in the second quarter of 2015, with Yager Development taking the reigns from Techland who instead chose to make Dying LightВ (and now, Dying Light 2). It seems that Dead Island was successful enough for publisher Deep Silver for them to consider expanding the title into a full-fledged franchise, but doing so was easier said than done since it's been a long and arduous journey getting Dead Island 2 out of development hell. In fact, sales were good enough not only to greenlight a sequel but also a handful of expansions and spinoffs, including Dead Island: Riptide in 2013 and Escape Dead Island in 2014 as well as the Dead Island: Definitive Edition in 2016.

Techland developed the original Dead Island game for last-generation consoles as well as PC, and although it received a lukewarm reception from critics, it sold quite well. Is Dead Island 2 still happening? Short answer: yes, it is - but it's not that simple.
