It’s no secret that Dead Island 2 is in development hell; in fact, it might very well be the definition of it. After Techland moved from Dead Island to Dying Light, Dead Island 2 would be put not development at a studio called Yager Development. It was officially announced in 2014, but come 2015, Yager Development would be replaced by Sumo Digital. Then, Dambuster Studios would become the main developer in 2019.
