DEAD ISLAND 2 Is Still In Active Development At Sumo Digital, According To Deep Silver

According to Deep Silver, Dead Island 2 is in active development, presumably at Sumo Digital. Presumably, as Sumo is currently co-developing Crackdown 3 (the British producer is Microsoft's main partner on the threequel) and recently co-developed Forza Horizon 3, the Hitman reboot and Team Sonic Racing, so it's understandable that making Dead Island 2 may be just too much for the studio.

Dead Island 2's development story is filled with very unusual and shocking twists, as Techland, the studio responsible for the first and highly successful Dead Island was originally set to develop Dead Island 2, but instead decided to focus on Dying Light (its sequel was announced at last month's E3). Finally, Deep Silver decided to team up with Spec Ops: The Line creators Yager Development in 2013 .

The game was officially announced at Sony's E3 2014 media briefing and the first trailer left many players disturbed, as Dead Island 2 dramatically changed the aesthetics and tone of the first game, as Yager's Dead Island was heading to the sunny and playful California. In 2015, Deep Silver announced that Yager has been dropped from the game and development will be moved to another developer.

Don't worry. Dead Island 2 is still in active development. As soon as we have news to share you'll see it here.
