As of the moment though, it still hasn’t been officially cancelled.
Unfortunately, however, unknown circumstances have led to the game’s future sliding into uncertainty, with fans now wondering whether it will ever see the light of day. It was first announced in 2012 and had an expected release date of 2017. Routine is a first-person horror exploration game that is being developed by LunarSoftware. 2 years?have now passed since the change, but there’s still no word on when Dead Island 2 will finally arrive. Fast forward a little to August 2019, however, and development on?the project once again changed hands this time to one of Deep Silver’s internal studios, Dambuster. Sumo Digital took over development the following year, with Deep Silver reassuring fans that the game was still happening on numerous occasions around this time. A copy of the studio’s build was leaked some five years later though, and, to this day, this is the closest that fans have ever come to playing Dead Island 2. The sequel to Techland’s hugely successful survival horror game was first announced at E3 back in 2014, although its troubled development dates back further still.?Problems first began when Techland opted to step away from the project to focus on its upcoming Dying Light franchise, leaving publisher Deep Silver without a developer for the game.Ī deal was eventually made with Yager Development in 2012 and the studio began work with a view to the game releasing at some point during 2015.?After two years of work, the game seemed to be in pretty good shape, but in mid 2015 it was suddenly announced that Yager would no longer be working on the project. One thing that they all have in common, however, is that they’re all seemingly trapped in development hell. Some have changed developers multiple times, while others have suffered due to recent global events.

Despite all of this, however,?there’s still no sign of Deep Silver’s zombie smashing title. Groundbreaking games?like The Witcher 3 and GTA 5 have been released, brand new genres have been created and an entire console generation has come and gone. The gaming landscape has changed considerably since work first began on Dead Island 2.
Although it is arguably the most prominent, Dead Island 2 is far from the only video game that’s currently stuck in development hell.
