Dead Island 2 has been delayed yet again, but only by 3 months

After 8 years of previous delays

Following a more modern tradition, developers Dambusters revealed the news on Twitter with a JPG that’s difficult to read and has no alt text:

“The irony of delayingDead Island 2is not lost on us, and we are as disappointed as you undoubtedly are,” says the message. “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.”

The announcement also brings news that there will be a Dead Island 2 showcase on December 6th, with “new trailer and gameplay” posted to theDead IslandTwitch and YouTube channels.
