THQ Nordic Assures us That Dead Island 2 is Still In Development



THQ Nordic held an investor presentation recently, giving us a taste of some of the company?s upcoming projects. If you?re unaware, THQ Nordic has been notorious for swooping up studios and piling on the projects, with very little to show for it. In fact, the publisher has 80 projects reported to be in development, with 48 of those being unannounced. How a publisher can juggle that many projects is beyond me, but we did get a slight update on one of the company?s long-awaited games, Dead Island 2.
Dead Island 2 was announced at E3 2014 giving us a sense for the tone of the upcoming sequel. If you recall, the trailer featured a man running along Santa Monica beach, with zombies pouring in around him, but done in a silly and lighthearted way. Since then, we haven?t seen much of anything pertaining to the project, and the studio behind its development, Yager, went silent. The following year, it was announced that Yager would no longer be working on the project and that development would be handed to Sumo Digital, the team behind Little Big Planet 3 (and also the recent Team Sonic Racing).
