Rave from the Grave?<\/h2>

A staggering eight years on from its initial teaser, there is fresh evidence that zombie-mashing sequel Dead Island 2<\/em> is almost ready to grace us with its putrid presence. Online retailer Amazon\u00a0has opened a new listing<\/a> for the “Is it even happening?” release, complete with a launch date of February 3, 2023.<\/p>

\"dead<\/p>

The listing includes box art, screenshots, and a game description, which is more than anybody has seen of Dead Island 2<\/em> from publisher Deep Silver or developer Dambuster Studios. According to Amazon, the sequel is ready to rock on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, (current and last-gen), and will, once again, see players choose from a selection of characters before engaging in gory, open-world mayhem on the streets of a plague-ridden Los Angeles. The blurb also suggests that the heroes themselves are infected, and can utilize the zombie inside them to unleash further carnage.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

It’s the best evidence yet that Dead Island 2<\/em> is not only still on deck, but is, apparently, mere months away from launch. Originally announced with a memorable teaser trailer at E3 2014<\/a>, the sequel has since bounced through several studios and has been subject to an array of cancellation rumors. Can the long-awaited title deliver after being mired in development hell? It seems, according to Amazon at least, that we really don’t have to wait too much longer to find out.<\/p>

With Gamescom on the horizon, I would expect that we’ll be hearing some official news from Deep Silver in the very<\/em> near future.<\/p>

Dead Island 2<\/em> is currently in development at Dambuster Studios.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":340314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[1195,19499,8277,176,217,128,1923,19124,19974],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":3,"display_name":"Chris
