Dead Island 2 was originally announced in 2014 and has had many delays since the initial reveal.
Industry insider Tom Henderson via a new YouTube video says he has spoken with people close to the development of Dead Island 2. The game is in a decent state and it is expected to release in Q4 2022.
"According to everyone that I've been speaking to the game decent state and it could be announced pretty soon with some kind of gameplay trailer," said Henderson. "A release date expected to be somewhere in Q4 2022, possibly leading up to next year if there is any problems with the development cycle."
Henderson did reveal some plot details for the beginning of Dead Island 2.
"You're on a plane and there's a zombie outbreak on a plane. Eventually the plane crashes into Hollywood, you survive and it is then your job to survive on the ground."
There was a report last year Dead Island 2 had moved from the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles to next-generation only with plans to just release on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

bargain bin one day
These guyz took longer than techland,
The investment and wasted years will kill sales,
Dying light 2 didn't have the biggest sale even without competition,
They should have sold at December now they need to contend with other February release like sifu hori forbi west and elden ring,
They really shot themselves on the foot and even this dead island 2 will surely be dead on arrival
Dead Island 2 probably could have sold over ten million copies if it was better handled and they got a decent sequel out 3 or 4 years ago.
Techland’s Dying Light 2 will probably be announced to have sold over 3 million copies soon. 4 and 5 million won’t be far away.
Dying Light 1 sold at least 15 million copies.
Techland did very well from doing their own thing.
how far off of Duke Nukem Forever?
If it takes six more years then it’s equal with Duke Nukem Forever.
It still blows my mind how long that development cycle was.
i liked the original but its mostly fetch quests then dying light come out and it put it to shame
“possibly leading up to next year if there is any problems with the development cycle."
Heh. There it is.
Oh, hey, Dead Island 2. Long time, no see.
Dead Island 2!!!
Now that's a name I haven't heard in forever. The amount of jumping around in videogame limbo that game has done makes me skeptical we will see anything for at least another few years.
Taking bets right now we won't see anything in the way of a release until at least next year.
-VIDEOGAME LIMBO NINJA APPROVED-
After seeing how many times this game has jumped from developer to developer, Techland should've kept with the IP.
