This does pushDead Island 2away fromStar Wars Jedi: Survivor, which had also locked in an April 28 date. Bothhad moved to the end of Aprilfollowing delays, but nowDead Island 2is shifting gears once more, now sharing a week with the return ofAdvance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp.
Moving on up
It’s a bit of a surprise to see a date moving up in the world of video games. Delays are usually more common, as teams need a few extra weeks to polish, tighten the screws, and put the final touches on a multi-year project. Still, we do see it from time-to-time. The gnarlyScornmovedits date up by a weeklast year, Martial arts brawlerSifualsobumped its date upa bit before launch, too.
Still, forDead Island 2, it’s a bit of a surprise. First revealed atE3 2014, the zombified sequel has shambled through the years, eventually arriving at Dambuster Studios. The team there has finally got it together and ready to move out the door though, and it may be heartening for fans to see them so ready to hit the gas on theDead Islandsequel.
We’ll find out whetherDead Island 2and itsmotley crew of slayerscan truly stick the landing a little bit earlier than expected.Dead Island 2is now slated to launch on June 29, 2025 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
