Slecht nieuws voor iedereen die hoopte dit jaar Dead Island 2 te kunnen gaan spelen, want de game is nu door geschoven naar 2016. Natuurlijk een bummer, maar de makers hebben simpelweg meer tijd nodig om de game die ze voor ogen hebben de realiseren en als je de andere Dead Island games gespeeld hebt, dan weet je hoe buggy die waren. Maar goed, 2016 het is niet anders.

We have always set ourselves a big goal for Dead Island 2: to create the sequel that takes Dead Island to the next level. A game that takes what our fans tell us they love about Dead Island - multiple different characters to play with, co-op, and turning a paradise setting into a zombie slaughter melee - and a game that adds a ton more content and combat options on top of that.

And we wanted to have all of that that done for release in Spring 2015.

We have been looking at the game long and hard, and we have decided we didn't reach that goal we set out to achieve quite yet. This is why we have decided to delay Dead Island 2 to 2016.

Right now we are focusing purely on development, and we will have more info to share at a later stage.

We know that our fans will be disappointed by this news, but by giving Dead Island 2 more time we are confident that everyone will get a better game to play as a result.
