'Dead Island 2' is delayed until April 28th, because of course it is<p>Stop me if you've heard this one before:
Dead Island 2 will arrive later than expected. The zombie-smashing game
re-emerged in August with a trailer, gameplay video and a firm release date of February 3rd. As it turns out, that release date was actually malleable. Publisher Deep Silver and developer Dambuster Studios have pushed
Dead Island 2 back to April 28th.</p><p>"The irony of delaying
Dead Island 2 is not lost on us and we are as disappointed as you undoubtedly are,"
a note on the game's Twitter account reads. "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."</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><div id="bb57710f9cbe4500878dfa8676abe8ea"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The delay is just 12 short weeks and development is on the final straight now. The new release date for Dead Island 2 will be April 28th 2023.
