Overview
- Deep Silver and Dambuster marked the franchise’s 14th anniversary by reporting over 20 million Dead Island 2 players.
- The studio said it is already “carving out what comes next,” using phrases like “the next outbreak” to signal a follow-up in development.
- No one has officially said “Dead Island 3,” and the developers have not announced a name, release window or concrete details.
- Teaser art shows Dead Island 2’s Jacob hitchhiking with luggage stickers referencing Banoi and LA alongside hints like Ireland, Rome and Australia, which outlets interpret as possible new locales.
- The 20 million figure reflects players, not pure sales, boosted by availability on Xbox Game Pass and an Epic Games Store giveaway.
