"Dead Island" 2 release date
It looks like gamers have to wait a little longer as the "Dead Island 2" release date was postponed for next year. This was announced on game publisher Deep Silver's Twitter account that the game was postponed because it is still trying to hit the goals outlined for the video gaming software as well as the need to complete the process.
The publisher said they have a "big goal" for the game and aims to take the gaming experience to the next level. Deep Silver also said that fans wanted "multiple characters who come together in a co-op setting and slaughter zombies in a melee." This is what the publisher wants to achieve.
Deep Silver also said, "We know that our fans will be disappointed by this news, but by giving 'Dead Island' 2 more time we are confident that everyone will get a better game to play as a result."
