Whilst no concrete release date is in place yet, the game is scheduled for release at some time in spring of 2015 on Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows PC’s. In keeping with this, the game is being developed on the powerful Unreal Engine 4.

Most likely due to Deep Silvers want of staying on top of the game (so to speak) and keeping modern. The game is being developed to launch on multiple systems, but the title is being worked on primarily as an 8th generation game and it’s unlikely to ever see a 7th generation build or port. The game is also set to be published by the series owners, the industry renowned Deep Silver.

The first Dead Island game was so well received a sequel was put into development shortly after. While Yager, the team responsible for the excellent Spec Ops: The Line, was originally developing the game, it has since moved to Sumo Digital before moving to Dambuster Studios. That was the date given by the Amazon listing he shared, and the best estimate we had prior to its release. As such, there really isn't too long to wait.Īccording to leaks from Tom Henderson, Dead Island 2 was first rumoured to release on February 23, 2023.
