Dead Island 2 is the long-awaited follow-up to 2011’s action role-playing game Dead Island. The sequel was originally announced in 2014, with Dambuster taking over development in 2019.
Last November, the game was delayed to April 28 2023 to allow developers time “to make sure we can launch a game we’re proud to launch”.
Deep Silver has now confirmed that Dead Island 2 has gone gold, and the release date has been brought forward. “You asked for it, you got it. Dead Island 2 went gold and it’s coming out a week early,” said the tweet announcing the news.
