E3 2019: What Happened with Dead Island 2?

Deep Silver's latest trailer and gameplay footage at E3 2019 sent shockwaves through the gaming community, leaving fans eager to learn more about the status of Dead Island 2. The game, initially announced in 2014, has had a tumultuous development process, marked by changes in studios and creative directions.

The journey began with Yager Development, known for their work on Spec Ops: The Line, taking the reins as the primary developer. However, in July 2015, Deep Silver parted ways with Yager due to creative differences. This significant change led to a partial reboot of the game, which ultimately resulted in Sumo Digital taking over development responsibilities.

The development process was not without its challenges, with numerous delays and complications plaguing the project. The game's scope initially included both single-player and multiplayer modes, allowing players to team up and face the zombie apocalypse together. Players would have explored a vast open world, scavenged for resources, and fought hordes of zombies using various weapons and abilities.

Dead Island 2 was expected to continue the open-world zombie survival gameplay of its predecessor, set in a fictional location in California. Fans were eager to see how the game would build upon the original's successful formula. Although the game has been delayed repeatedly, there is still hope that it will eventually see the light of day.

With Deep Silver's latest trailer and gameplay footage at E3 2019, it seems that Dead Island 2 is still in active development. While the road to completion has been long and arduous, fans remain optimistic that this highly anticipated game will finally make its way to consoles and PC.
