Dead Island 2 appears on Amazon
After years of silence and lots of rumors about it, now we are: Dead Island 2 seems to be ready for its debut. No official announcement, of course, but Deep Silver's game has appeared on Amazon, complete with new screenshots and box art, or the cover that will accompany the game in its physical and digital release.The title appeared on Amazon, complete with a release date, set for February 3, 2023. A very credible release date: for some time, reliable leakers like Tom Henderson had said that the title would receive a reveal during this summer and with the Summer Game Fest now archived, it is very likely that Deep Silver decides to present Dead Island 2 taking advantage of the Opening Night Live of Gamescom 2022, which will be held on August 23, 2022. It is difficult for a page like that of Amazon to be falsified ( among other things, the game is still online, but without a release date and without the possibility of being booked) and the presence of the box art leads us to think that it is not an error: the game exists and now seems really ready to debut.| ); }

Originally announced in 2014, during the E3 of the same year, Dead Island 2 then fell into a silence difficult to understand for such an important work. The title has passed into the hands of several studios and seems to have found its final home in Dambuster Studios, which is part of Deep Silver. We will update you as soon as more information is available.
Dead Island 2 leaks on Amazon with a February release date
An Amazon listing for Dead Island 2 has been leaked, providing details about the long-awaited sequel. The release date noted on the listing is February 3, 2023. The listing also confirms that it will launch on at least PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox platforms.
According to the listing, Dead Island 2 takes place in various locations across Los Angeles, including Venice Beach and Beverly Hills. There are six characters, called Slayers, to choose from with unique personalities and dialogues. They can be fully customized, and the game utilizes a new skill system that allows players to re-spec on the fly. There are a dozen zombie designs and types, each with their own mutations and attacks.

The Day One Edition of Dead Island 2 includes the Memories of Banoi Pack, which contains the Banoi War Club, Memories of Banoi Baseball bat, a Balanced Weapon Perk, and a Personal Space skill card.
Dead Island 2 has been under development for almost a decade, with previews for the game having come out all the way back in 2014. The game’s original developer, Sumo Digital, was replaced by Dambuster Studios in 2019. During the Summer Game Fest Kickoff stream back in June, a trailer for Goat Simulator 3 debuted in the same style as the first Dead Island‘s reveal trailer, leading the audience to think Dead Island 2 was finally coming.
However, that was a bait and switch. Not this time, though, as it looks like this sequel is a reality. Though an official announcement hasn’t been made, the leak does come ahead of next week’s big Gamescom Opening Night Live stream.
