“Look, Dead Island is a very important brand for us and we’ve got to get it right,” says Kundratitz. “It’s just a testimony of our dedication to get it right.”

The first game, Dead Island, launched back in 2011 and spawned spin-offs such as the negatively received Dead Island: Riptide and Escape Dead Island. A MOBA game called Dead Island: Epidemic was canceled in 2015. Since then Dead Island 2 has been in development limbo without a solid release date constantly changing hands.

Currently, Dead Island 2 doesn't have a release date but is planned for PC, Xbox One, and PS4 this 2020.
