Three years in the making, but Dead Island 2 will be arriving in 2015!
Nearly 3 years ago, Deep Silver made a splash into the gaming industry to birth virtually every survivor horror zombie title with Dead Island. While many new IPs have lacked the magic the original D.I. captured on last-generation, Dead Island 2 will finally be arriving spring of 2015.
The game had been in the works for quite some time, due to former initial developer Techland putting all focus on their early 2015 survival horror title Dying Light. Deep Silver found a replacement in Yager Development for the next dosage of adrenaline rushing zombie killing. The first gameplay trailer you can check after the jump has finally arrived, showing some of the bloody action well be encountering on PC and consoles early next year.
Disclaimer: Trailer is pre-alpha with work-in progress footage. Not final game.
Today, Deep Silver reveals the first gameplay trailer for Dead Island 2, the next installment in the multi-million-selling Dead Island franchise. The video shows Pre-Alpha in-game footage and gives a first impression on how beautiful sunshine and bloody melee violence meet once again – this time in the sunny realms of California. Dead Island 2 is coming Spring 2015 from development studio YAGER for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, as well as Windows PC.
Dead Island 2 will be playable for the first time at Gamescom 2014 in Cologne. At the Deep Silver booth in Hall 9.1, B11/C10, players can enjoy a decent zombie slaughterfest just below the famous Hollywood sign.
