Finally, we have had official confirmation that Dead Island 2 is alive and well. Furthermore, we’ve also been treated to a new gameplay trailer.
Eight long years after it was first announced, and when I got to play an alpha build in 2014, we can rest peacefully knowing that Dead Island 2 is coming back.
We are delighted to now be able to share with you the first glimpse of Dead Island 2!
This game is the culmination of over four years of hard work from the team, and we cannot wait for you to begin slaying your way around Hell-A soon. #DeadIsland pic.twitter.com/MeWA7zK0kS

During Gamescom Opening Night Live, we were not only treated to a gameplay trailer but also a fun CGI trailer too. The gameplay trailer especially is full of fun and bloody goodness. What else could we want?
The Dead Island 2 press release reads:
Dead Island 2 is a First-Person Action RPG set in a unique setting – a hellish, yet stylish and vibrant, gore-drenched vision of Los Angeles, nicknamed HELL-A. The series’ unique formula, dark humour and over-the-top zombie-slaying returns, with all the swagger and charisma you’d expect from Dead Island.
The CGI trailer stars Jacob, one of our playable slayers, as he wakes up in a luxurious Beverly Hills villa but nothing is what it seems. Join him as he ventures out into HELL-A and witness the bloody outbreak aftermath, enhanced by the iconic track Hollywood Swinging by Kool And The Gang.
Watch the Dead Island 2 CGI trailer, marking the reannouncement of the long-awaited sequel.
