It looks like the once dead, er, Dead Island 2 has risen again. After publisher Koch Media ditched the game's previous developer, Yager Productions, the fate of the open world zombie whacker looked shaky. Now a new studio has stepped up and it's [drum roll] Sumo Digital.
Huh.
According to MCV, Koch Media CEO Dr Klemens Kundratitz says, “Sumo showed so much understanding of the brand, had creative ideas and an excellent, vision that was aligned with our own. It just made perfect sense for us to move the project to them." He's promised more details later but is apparently "super excited about the progress that we are making with them.”
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a little specialist hiring happening there in the next few months to get in some appropriate skills.
