Dead Island 2: the title will be an Epic Store exclusive

According to some legal documents, Dead Island 2 will be distributed exclusively on the Epic Store

Indiscretions continue to leak from the documents made public by the trial between Epic and Apple.

Dead Island 2 won’t be the only Epic Store exclusive

In addition to the aforementioned Dead Island sequel, the documents indicate that the next chapter of the franchise is also Saints Row is part of this operation.

This novelty represents only the last chapter of the troubled history Dead Island 2. The title was announced for the first time in 2014 but, despite having been a good seven years, it is not particularly close to its release than then. This delay was caused by the numerous study changes: initially the video game was entrusted to Techland but, when the latter chose to give precedence to another title on zombies, the project passed to Yager, who went bankrupt without being able to complete it. Dead Island 2 was then commissioned to Sumo Digital, which in turn was unable to make it; the project then arrived at Dambuster Studios which is currently working on it.
