This Demo was also the staging post for the reveal of a cooperative mode as well as a competitive multiplayer suite. Despite the announcement of four playable characters, only 2 where shown to the audience. It was during the Cologne Gamescom Demo that Deep Silver revealed that the game will, like those before it, feature multiple characters, four in total.

It did however portray the Dead Island series in a more over the top and colourful light than previous builds of the game.įollowing the reveal trailer, Dead Island 2 went quiet for a while.

The game will be made available at retail upon its release and via digital download via the appropriate online market place.ĭeep Silver originally had the developers of Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide lined up to develop Dead Island 2. Whilst no concrete release date is in place yet, the game is scheduled for release at some time in spring of 2015 on Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows PC’s. In keeping with this, the game is being developed on the powerful Unreal Engine 4. Most likely due to Deep Silvers want of staying on top of the game (so to speak) and keeping modern. The game is being developed to launch on multiple systems, but the title is being worked on primarily as an 8th generation game and it’s unlikely to ever see a 7th generation build or port.
The game is also set to be published by the series owners, the industry renowned Deep Silver. Dead Island 2 is an upcoming stylised first person shooter, role playing game with action and horror elements that is currently in development by the German based studio, Yager Development, the same team that developed that massively well received sleeper hit war drama shooter, Spec Ops: The Line.
