Dead Island 2 has gone ‘gold’, release date brought forward

After years of delays and production issues, Dead Island 2 is finally releasing this year. The developers seem to be very confident in the game's state too, as it has gone gold months ahead of schedule, and the release date has been brought forward by one week. 

In an announcement today, it was announced that Dead Island 2 will now launch on the 21st of April, instead of April 28th as previously planned.

Coinciding with the release date reveal is the announcement that Dead Island 2 has gone gold. That essentially means that the game is now content-complete and playable from start to finish. The remaining development time will be used to squash bugs polishing up the different versions for console and PC.

Dead Island 2 will take players to California, fighting through zombie hordes in Los Angeles. Like the first game, this one is playable solo, but is primarily designed as a multiplayer co-op experience.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
