The long-awaited open world zombie game Dead Island 2 has received another delay as it’s now set to launch on April 28, 2023. It was originally set to launch on February 3.

“We have some important news to share, so let’s rip that band aid off straight away. We are delaying Dead Island 2 - the new release date will be April 28, 2023.
“The Irony of delaying Dead Island 2 is not lost on us, and we are disappointed as you undoubtedly are. The delay is just 12 short weeks and development is on the final straight now; we’re going to take the time we need to make sure we can launch a game we’re proud to launch. For those of you who’ve been waiting for years, thank you for hanging in there with us.”
A new gameplay trailer for Dead Island 2 is set to debut on December 6 through the game’s official Twitch and Youtube channels.
