With Dead Island 2 Hitting 20 Million Players, Dambuster Studios Teases a New Entry in the Series

Expert Verified By

The Outbreak Is Far From Over.....

Story Highlight
  • Dambuster Studios announced that Dead Island 2 has reached 20 million players.
  • The developer also teased that they’re working on a new Dead Island game.
  • The next entry may take the series to a new setting away from LA.

There are several zombie games on the market, but only a few stand tall, and among them are the Dead Island games. The first Dead Island game has developed a cult following over the years and is regarded as one of the most enjoyable co-op games, with the sequel almost holding up in comparison.

As the sequel has reached 20 million players, announced on the series’ 14th anniversary, developer Dambuster Studios revealed that a new Dead Island game is officially underway.

Why it matters: Dambuster Studios certainly has the capability to top the first Dead Island game, and such an opportunity is now present for them.

Dambuster Studios Posting A New Update For Dead Island 2

On Steam, Dambuster Studios made this announcement, teasing that they’re already working on a new entry.

This isn’t the final cut though. Dambuster Studios are already carving out what comes next. For now, the details stay under wraps, the outbreak is far from over…

The artwork implies that the series is finally set to move away from its LA setting. In any case, the next game might still be years away, considering Dead Island 2 was just released last year.

Dead Island 2’s development is perhaps the most notorious within the gaming industry, taking almost 9 years to make. Nearly three studios were changed during the game’s development, with the project finally landing in Dambuster Studios’ lap.

For all this troubled development, the reviews and overall reception for the game weren’t that bad, but nevertheless, it was still a step down from the first game.

With a new Dead Island game, Dambuster Studios can potentially redeem themselves and improve every aspect of the sequel and what was wrong with it.
