We’ve reported on Dead Island 2’s development hell a few times over the years. A quick Google reveals news items from 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016, and even a hands-on with early code way back at GamesCom in 2014. Yikes.
The game has switched between three different developers during that time, with the developer of the original Dead Island heading off into the sunset to make the similarly first-person and zombie themed Dying Light series. Now it’s Dambuster Studios, an internal studio of publisher Deep Silver, that’s been bringing the game home since 2019.
Don’t let the protracted development saga put you off though. Dead Island 2 has been gaining broadly positive reviews, and it looks like a good time if you’re after some simple fuss-free first person carnage.
Set 10 years after the original Dead Island (which seems like an appropriate time span in light of the above), the game is set in sunny Los Angeles, and is packed full of zany first person zombie-slaying action.
At this cut down price, in particular, it’s well worth a punt.
