"DEAD ISLAND 2" Delayed Again, Will Release On April 28th

After finally revealing that we were indeed going to be getting Dead Island 2 a few months back, the game has again been delayed for release. Deep Silver and developer Dambuster Studios have announced a slight delay for the game’s by 12 weeks.

Announced via Twitter, Dead Island 2 will no longer be coming out February 3, 2023. Instead, the game will arrive on April 28 for PC via the Epic Games Store, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. And yes, the irony is not lost on the team. According to the post, the delay is to ensure that Dambuster is able to release Dead Island 2 in the best possible state.

Now delays aren’t necessarily a bad thing as they help the developers deal with bugs or other issues in the game they have found to give the users a better over all experience.

The story for Dead Island 2 takes place several months after the events of the first game, with the United States military putting California under full quarantine. Now a restricted zone, California has become a bloody paradise for those who refuse to leave their homes and an action-packed playground for renegades who seek adventure, glory and a fresh start.

Combining the classic Dead Island elements of immersive close combat, action and role-playing, Dead Island 2 features crazy, never-before-seen handcrafted weapons and over-the-top characters in taking players from the iconic Golden Gate to the celebrated beachfront boardwalk of southern California’s Venice Beach.

The delay is just 12 short weeks and development is on the final straight now. The new release date for Dead Island 2 will be April 28th 2023.#DeadIsland #SeeYouInHELLA pic.twitter.com/Vf1NARTECo
