While we await the promised update, here's what you need to know about the first game: Now, the game is back under the publishing umbrella of Deep Silver, with Deep Silver Dambuster Studios taking the development charge.

With few updates here and there, news - as mentioned before - has been scarce, though a listing for the title did appear for a short time on the Microsoft store just before E3 2018. After a split with its previous developer and Deep Silver, production was moved to Sumo Digital in 2016. Still, perhaps it will be a cross-gen title, we honestly have no idea at this point since everyone involved had been mum about progress.įollowing Dead Island 2's reveal in 2014, the sequel fell victim to a wide variety of road bumps that affected work on the title.

The final exchange from the studio concluded with, 'We're not quite ready to talk about the latest Dead Island just yet, but when we do, you'll see it here!'Īfter several changed hands, the zombie title is still shooting for an Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC date - which is a little odd given that next-gen is officially here.

The original naysayer responded in disbelief, asking Deep Silver not to give them false hope.
