After being announced years ago, Dead Island 2 has been in development for a very long time.
The game was initially revealed in 2014. However, due to a few development issues and a protracted period of silence, there were worries that it would go unfinished. But eventually, the developers presented the game at Gamescom this year.

The Dead Island 2 gameplay trailer gives a solid picture of the game
The first official Dead Island 2 gameplay trailer, which was released in December, primarily showcased zombies, but the teaser also showed off the other kinds of enemies that can be encountered in Dead Island 2.
