Dead Island 2 stays true to itself and has been postponed again

Meanwhile Dead Island 2 feels a bit like a never-ending story. After years of hellish development, the new Zombie Slaughter part has actually been announced for February 2. Now the release date has been postponed again – and the development team immediately announces that they are aware of the irony, but also promise that the work is in the final stages and name a new release date.

New release date in April

In a tweet on the official Dead Island 2 channel, the team spoke at length. as new release date for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S will now be the April 28 called; with the additional note: “The delay is only 12 short weeks”.

The only reason we’re told is that the team needed time to release a game they would be proud of. The studio would also like to thank the fans for their perseverance.

Surprisingly, Dead Island 2 does a lot of good

The atmospheric zones, the entertaining zombie action, and especially the nasty finishers left Dennis wanting more. By the way, Dead Island 2 will not bring an open world, but individual levels, which will not be boring, but rather spacious. The story takes place in Los Angeles this time and gives us the choice between six different characters.

What do you think of this change?
