A fresh look at what Dead Island 2 has been up toDead Island 2 is rising from the beyond to share more of what the team's been working on. A new Dead Island 2 showcase is scheduled for Tuesday, December 6.
The stream will kick off at 1 p.m. PT / 4 p.m. ET, with the Dead Island 2 showcase airing on the Dead Island YouTube channel. You can find that link here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMrwcmG3eqk).

What's the team planning to showcase? Well, so far we just have a description of "action, gore, and zombies." Hopefully we get to see some details of what's in store for the long-in-development sequel to Dead Island.
Rising from the graveIt's at least another sign of life from the Dead Island 2 project, which has been in the works (https://www.destructoid.com/thq-nordic-insists-that-dead-island-2-is-not-quite-dead-yet/) for quite a long time at this point (https://www.destructoid.com/dead-island-2-still-a-thing/). We did get confirmation of a release date and details at Gamescom earlier this year (https://www.destructoid.com/dead-island-2-launch-date-february-2023-pc-consoles-deep-silver-news/), but publisher Deep Silver confirmed last week that it's been pushed from February out to April 28, 2023 (https://www.destructoid.com/dead-island-2-delay-april-28-sequel-deep-silver-dambuster/).
?The irony of delaying Dead Island 2 is not lost on us, and we are as disappointed as you undoubtedly are,? reads a statement (https://twitter.com/deadislandgame/status/1593107373740146688) from Deep Silver on the delay. ?The delay is just 12 short weeks and development is on the final straight now; we?re going to take the time we need to make sure we can launch a game we?re proud to launch. For those of you who?ve been waiting for years, thank you for hanging in there with us.?
More delays tacked onto Dead Island 2 is one thing. But players also probably want to know what the game looks like after so many years. The zombie-smashing, weapon-crafting action of Dead Island could be pretty fun to play again. It's just a matter of getting it onto platforms and out of the lab.
We'll see if the showcase delivers on December 6.
