The game made plenty of improvements to the open-world zombie formula, many of which we can expect to see in вЂDead Island 2вЂ™. Developed by the same people responsible for creating вЂDead IslandвЂ™ in the first place, Polish video game developer Techland, вЂDying LightвЂ™ is something of a spiritual successor to the вЂDead IslandвЂ™ franchise. In order to get an idea about what вЂDead Island 2вЂ™ could be like, we would do well to look towards another game вЂ“ 2015вЂ™s вЂDying LightвЂ™. In order to make it work, the developers will certainly have to add their own unique spin to the formula. While the island paradise setting was somewhat unique for a zombie survival game back in 2011, the urban jungle theme is fairly played out by now with games like вЂState of DecayвЂ™, вЂDead Rising 3вЂ™ and вЂDying LightвЂ™ hitting a lot of the same notes. The decision to change the setting of the franchise could potentially have far-reaching consequences. The virus has spread to California, and the entire state has become a quarantine zone as designated by the United States Armed Forces. The game is a direct sequel to the original вЂDead IslandвЂ™, taking place only a couple of months after the events of the first game. However, вЂDead Island 2вЂ™ reportedly trades in the island paradise setting, in the first game, in favor of three distinct locations in California вЂ“ sunny Los Angeles, vibrant San Francisco and another as-yet-undisclosed location in California itself. We donвЂ™t have a lot of first-hand information about вЂDead Island 2вЂ™ from publisher Deep Silver, and it is somewhat unclear if the vision for the game is still the same as five years ago. The game has been stuck in development hell for so long that we must now ask the question вЂ“ Will there even be a вЂDead Island 2вЂ™? Read on to find out everything we know. Publisher Deep Silver has teased вЂDead Island 2вЂ™ for a long time now, but we are yet to see any indication of a final product.

Another previously touted feature is 'seamless' multiplayer for up to eight players that can 'cooperate, compete, or simply coexist.' The publisher has described this as a 'new-gen multiplayer experience.'
