Dying Light 2 released in February and was…fine.

By 2019, parent company THQ Nordic (now one of the many facers of Embracer) announced Dambuster Studios would finish the game with one of Deep Silver’s internal studios while new alpha builds started leaking online.Īnd now here we are.

In 2015 publisher Deep Silver dropped the Spec Ops: The Line studio over conflicting visions, and enlisted Sumo Digital in the UK. The Polish studio was supposed to make the sequel but ended up making parkour zombie hit Dying Light instead. The first Dead Island in 2011 was made by Techland.

The top comment with over 50,000 likes reads, “I was 12 when this trailer came out. The original reveal trailer has been viewed on YouTube over 24 million times. A brief gameplay trailer followed at Gamescom that summer which showed basically what we saw today, albeit much less pretty looking. The game was infamously revealed back at E3 2014 with a CGI trailer showing a man jogging obliviously while everyone behind him is eaten alive by zombies. It’s transcended the particulars of its sub-genre to become pure video game industry spectacle, like Duke Nukem Forever and a handful of other projects that were birthed in one era and clawed their way through years of development hell into another. I have no idea whether Dead Island 2 will be any good, and at this point that almost feels beside the point. But if you asked me to figure out what sets the cursed project apart from other zombie games outside of its sun-soaked rendition of Venice Beach, I wouldn’t have a clue. It also sports a co-op campaign, bigger map, and more complex dismemberment system than its predecessors. According to the game’s developers these are “larger than life” characters with “unique” dialogue that showcases the game’s “pulpy” and “irreverent” tone. Dead Island 2‘s latest trailer showed off Jacob, one of six playable zombie-slayers.
