“The next outbreak has been brewed” – It looks like we already have the first Dead Island 3 teasing

Work on Dead Island 3 seems to be in progress after teasing the 14th anniversary of the series.

In an article about steamdeveloper Dambuster Studios posted an image on the title below: “The next outbreak is already brewing.”

The news continued: “It has been 14 years since Dead Island first splashed on the scene, putting players into a bloody Barnes and Noble paradise.”

“Since then, Zompococalypse has climbed from the tropical coast to the Hell A of Dead Island 2, where over 20 million killers are left with the massacre.

“However, this is not the final cut. DambusterStudios is already figuring out what will happen next. For the moment, details remain in the package, and the outbreak is far from over…”

Based on the image, we can say with certainty that Dead Island 3 will be set to something else other than LA, which makes sense. But where? Given that the person shown in the image is hitchhiking, maybe Las Vegas stopped naturally. But in reality, it can be anywhere. After all, the first dead island was placed in the fictional island chain of Oceania.

Maybe it's just about Dead Island 2 DLC, which would be surprising given that the game's two levels of extension Haus and Sola have been released.

Of course, hopefully, Dead Island 3 won't be like Dead Island 2 It's indeed out. The final launch (and a huge success) Dead Island 2 was delayed by eight years after a long period of development.

In July, Martin Wein, former head of communications at Deep Silver, a publisher of Deep Island 2, Talk about the sequel's troubleand how to decide at a major milestone meeting with Yager that developed at the time, the game was “sucked”.

Dead Island 2 revealed in E3 2014, but soon became quiet, and then “mutual difference” separates Yager from Deep Silver. It was then transferred to Sumo Digital and then again in 2019 to its final Dambuster Studios. A new trailer and game video was released in the Dead Island 2 showcase on December 6, 2022, which announced a delay of 12 weeks until April 2023.

The question is, when will Dead Island 3 be revealed and when will it come out? Given that it has been more than two years since the release of Dead Island 2, I hope we will see something tangible soon.
