I officially have no idea what’s going on with Dead Island 2. After replacing series creator Techland for Spec Ops: The Line developer YAGER, Deep Silver has just announced they’ve parted ways with YAGER. Seems like an odd decision, especially since the footage we’ve been privy to so far has been mostly well-received, but what’s really worrisome is that the announcement doesn’t mention any plans for moving forward.
As of right now, it looks as if the sequel may have found itself in limbo.
“With Dead Island 2, Deep Silver has always been dedicated to delivering the sequel that Dead Island fans deserve. After careful consideration, today we announce the decision to part ways with development partner YAGER. We will continue working towards bringing our vision of Dead Island 2 to life, and we will share further information at a later stage.”
This may be the cause of its recent delay into 2016.
I’d rather not leave you with such an ominous statement, so here’s our Dead Island 2 wish list and a trailer-sized helping of slaughter and sunshine.
