The Dead Island franchise, which promises so much but delivers so little, has announced it's third game in the series. Let's hope they've learnt from their mistakes and can expand on the promise shown by the first two games.

EDIT: It's being made by Yager, taking over from Techland.

Release in 2015 for XB1, PS4 and PC.
 
I actually liked the first one. Terribly flawed, but still fun with the borderlands colour-coded weapon rank style, and decent albeit repetitive melee combat. I might be swayed or biased because I do like the zombie genre but am looking forward to what this one has in store definitely :thumbsu:

Along with the exclusive Beta PS4 will have an exclusive 5th character and more sony only bonus content.

I think the content will be like Chloe's gun from Uncharted 2 and some other weapons/cars from sony games.

No longer being made by Yager.

Guess this puts the project on hiatus now. Kinda wonder what was going wrong to stop Yager from making the game, budget or quality would be the first two things to think of.

Bit disappointing, but with how excellent Dying Light was, I'm not sure if I would've been up for something that could've gone backwards on the mechanics introduced by that game.

So the preorders would need to be refunded yeah?
The game hasn't been cancelled, just that the developer is going to change. The game will still release.
 
Yep, Dying Light kinda crowded out the melee zombie game market. There will be a sequel for that and no need for any more Dead Islands.

Nothing like drop kicking a zombie off of a building.

But how did the zombie get on the roof? How!!!!

It's finally happening




I mean a good trailer doesn't equal a good game but does look fun. The melee combat looks very solid.
