Dead Island 2 comes back from the grave 8 years later!
Dead Island 2 having a new trailer is something I never expected. I thought this highly anticipated sequel was now shovel ware. The last time I saw a trailer for this sequel was in 2014. The cast of Stranger Things is not yet taller than me during those times.
Since the hiatus of this Dead Island 2 has been two years short of being a decade, they tried to redeem themselves by dropping not one but two trailers.
This franchise had experienced multiple delays and hardships, but no developmental hell stopped it from making an impact. I have a nagging feeling this sequel will deliver.

To refresh your mind what this game look like in early development back in 2014, Here is the last trailer they released back in 2014. I gave up waiting for Dead Island 2 after the 8 years of silence.
The First Dead Island Game is a multiplayer first-person shooter with elements of an RPG. Four playable characters have their own strengths and weaknesses. Players can customize their experience with the crafting system and upgrade the survivors’ skills.
It has fast-paced action, and its campaign has multiple endings.
The first game took place on the fictional island of Banoi. A tropical paradise that appears to be the ideal destination for a holiday, but it got ruined by a pandemic.
Then a Zombie epidemic occurs, and the four immune survivors try to flee with the other survivors.
The neighborhood of Los Angeles known as Hollywood, where most aspiring actors go to chase their dreams of glory, is now the location of the conflict in the sequel. It took place several months after the events of the last game. This video game is a work of historical fiction, and it takes place in the year 2006. We’re living in a time when a story that takes place in the early 2000s is considered a period.

Without any justification, this trailer strikes me as being incredibly horrific, revolting, brutal, and vile. I started crying because it is so breathtakingly gorgeous. I eagerly anticipate my next opportunity to slay zombies decked out in swimsuits.

I am jumping this point, the fact that we do in fact have a release date brightens my f***ing day. I felt this way when I saw a Duke Nukem forever trailer years ago.

I can’t wait to play this game once it’s made available to the stores and the fact that the gameplay video and the CGI trailer for its re-announcement are released on the same day makes it even better. After over ten years of torturous anticipating it, the sequel has finally been released. We can only hope that the waiting period wasn’t in vain.

I wonder if we will know what happened to the Survivors of the first game. I want to see Logan, Sam B, Xian Yu and Purna.

You mean Xian Mei, Xian mei is the name of the receptionist survivor and not Xian Yu. I can understand why you forget though because it has been years. I only remember the first game exist because of the trailer of Dead Island 2.
The sequel was originally planned to be open world but I think that is what got it in developmental hell. Changing direction is the only way to make it happen.

The original plan is to be set in the whole California but now the setting is just L.A because its the most attainable thing to do.

Whatever happened to the Dead Island movie. Remember there was a news that the first trailer of Dead Island will be adapted into a movie because it got so viral.
