Following the game’s delay, a Dead Island 2 Showcase has been announced

Dead Island 2 has had a long and seemingly arduous development life. With the sequel first being announced all the way back in 2014, we are finally mere months away from the game’s release. Following the title’s most recent (and final) delay, a Dead Island 2 showcase has now been announced.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the official Dead Island page said “Save the date, Slayers. We're rolling out the bloody red carpet for our Dead Island 2 Showcase on December 6th, 8pm GMT | 9pm CET | 1pm PT, and you're invited to watch the premiere here: https://youtu.be/wMrwcmG3eqk #DeadIsland #SeeYouInHELLA.”

As mentioned, Dead Island 2 recently received a last-minute delay, seeing the game being pushed from its December 2022 release to the 28th of April 2023 – with the team at the time saying “It’s not what we wanted to do. We wanted to do it right – announce the game in style, put a release date on it, launch on time and celebrate a job well done. We waited until we were SURE of our release date before we announced Dead Island 2. So the irony isn’t lost on us”.

While unfortunate, after almost a decade of waiting, what’s a few more months? Still, delays are always somewhat concerning and so hopefully whatever the Dead Island 2 team has planned for this showcase will alleviate this. We will have to wait and see.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
