Around the Zombie Game Dead Island 2 (from 19,00 € for sale) has developed something like an infinite story in recent years. Again and again there were shifts, problems in development, new teams as well as a subtle sign of life. There is still no concrete release date.

However, the latest investor conference relating to the recently completed business quarter was a Q & A session with Lars Wingefors, the Managing Director of the EMBRACER Group, to which, etc. THQ Nordic and Deep Silver (Publisher of Dead Island 2) belong. The moderator of the Question and Response Round threw this forecast into the room: _ “People have written down Dead Island 2 somehow, as they do not know if it actually still exists. But it does clearly. At least I personally go from it out that in this – sorry, appears in the next year. Is that very conceivable? What can we expect from the game? It has certainly ten years in development. “_

Wingefors did not expressly affect this bait. However, he answered very evasive and thus let a lot of scope for speculation: _ “I can not talk about Dead Island 2, as it has not been announced in this form by the publisher so far. But we have a unannounced AAA title from which one believes that it is Dead Island 2. It is difficult for me to continue to comment. But I’m looking forward to the not announced games. “_

Really smarter, this answer does not leave the fans back. Especially since he obviously disregarded the announcement trailer published in 2014 at the E3 – but Deep Silver was not part of the Embracer Group at the time. If Dead Island 2 is actually appearing in the next year, the release would fall within the period between April 2022 and March 2023.
