Dambuster Studios’ “primary focus” is Dead Island 3, with the entirety of the developer working on the sequel, a new financial statement has revealed.
Twitter user @bogorad222 uncovered the Dambuster financial statement, which also states that Dead Island 3 will be released in the first quarter of 2028.
“Parts of the game are now in early production with feature, character, world and story design moving at pace,” the report reveals.
Dambuster teased the sequel in September of this year, saying, “the next outbreak is already brewing”.
“It’s been 14 years since Dead Island first splattered onto the scene, stranding players in the blood-soaked paradise of Banoi,” Dambuster’s message continued.
“Since then, the zompocalypse has crawled from tropical shores to the sun-drenched chaos of HELL-A in Dead Island 2, where over 20 million Slayers have left nothing but carnage behind.
“This isn’t the final cut though. Dambuster Studios are already carving out what comes next. For now, the details stay under wraps, the outbreak is far from over…”
Dead Island 2 was released in 2023; in my 5/10 review, I said the sequel “isn’t broken or flagrantly bad (with the exception of the checkpointing system), but it is tired, antiquated and bland.”
