Publisher Deep Silver has confirmed Dead Island 2 is coming for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on April 21, 2023. Let’s look at what happened at Gamescom and what has been confirmed about the game, including the Dead Island 2 release date, what we’ve seen of its gameplay, and what the story will entail. Regardless, it’s time to look at everything we know about the zombie game’s return.


Over time, the game has also changed developers several times, from the original developer Yager to Sumo Digital and, finally perhaps, to Dambuster Studio. But now it’s back, we now have some more information and a possible Dead Island 2 release date. Wait, or maybe we just did? Dead Island 2, the action RPG starring the living dead, was officially announced back in 2014, then it seemed to vanish into the ether. It would be way too easy to make a joke about being back from the dead, so we won’t do that.
