Dead Island 2 hopes to prove that zombies are still sexy
We're going to Dead Island
Fan of the Dead Island franchise? Of course you are! Otherwise you wouldn't be here, reading this. Well good news! Dead Island 2 is in development by Yager (developers of Spec Ops: The Line), bringing the zombie hunting to next-generation platforms. We don't have any information other than that, though--but we have plenty of speculation!
The trailer featured a weird art style--not unlike a Valve game. Sure, it could just be the art style of the video (the Dead Island franchise has a long history of misleading trailers, after all), but we're guessing it might extend into the game. With Dying Light on the way, there's a chance that a cartoony style might be the way the developer wants to separate the two franchises.
There's a lot of humor in the video, which focuses on a jogger slowly turning into a zombie.
Helicopter crashes are the norm when zombies take over
Gross arm is... gross. Very gross.
