Brace Yourselves: Dead Island 3 is in the Works!
Shockingly, Dambuster Studios has decided to embark on the epic quest of whipping up Dead Island 3, slated for a grand debut in the illustrious year of 2028. Yes, folks, that’s not an elaborate joke or a late April Fools’ prank—it’s the real deal.
The revelation came courtesy of some very serious financial documents that were unearthed by the keen-eyed (or perhaps overly caffeinated) user @bogorad222. According to these documents, the game is currently “zooming along.” One can only assume that “speedy production” translates to frantically throwing digital assets into a blender and hoping for the best:
- Feature design
- Character design
- World design
- Narrative crafting
The documents cautiously predict the grand opening of the undead extravaganza sometime during Q1 or Q2 of 2028. It’s like they’re saying, “Let’s hope the zombie apocalypse doesn’t happen before then!”
A Little Teaser Never Hurt Anyone
Earlier in the year, Dambuster dropped some tantalizing hints about Dead Island 3 in a post so cryptic it could rival Da Vinci’s writings. They whimsically declared, “Dambuster Studios are already carving out what comes next,” while simultaneously keeping everyone in suspense: “For now, the details stay under wraps, the outbreak is far from over…” This is classic marketing—the sort that makes fans both giddy and frustrated at the same time.
Let’s not forget, the franchise has been through a rollercoaster of delays and developer switches since it first graced the scene way back in 2014. Talk about a long wait; it’s almost as if they’ve been trying to perfect the art of zombie slaying through procrastination. Dambuster finally took the reins in 2019, and on April 2023, players could finally slice and dice their way through hordes of the undead on various platforms, including those shiny new consoles and—surprise!—the Epic Games Store.
Dead Island 2: The Comedy Hit of the Century?
Speaking of slicing and dicing, let’s take a moment to reflect on Dead Island 2. Its enthusiastic review declared it was a “slightly bland campaign eclipsed by brilliantly entertaining, gory combat.” Who knew that the zombie apocalypse could be so… mundane?
And here it is: the real question every discerning gamer should ponder: “Do you think it’s funny to chop zombies into bits?” Because if the answer is a hearty “yes!”, then the previous game was a riot—a blood-soaked giggle-fest.
The Long Wait Is Almost Over!
In the end, if Dead Island 3 actually sees the light of day in 2028, it’ll be a whole five years since the sequel hit the shelves—a delay that’s impressive, if no one really asked for it. The development of its predecessor was a saga worthy of its own desktop wallpaper, featuring twists, turns, and enough changes to keep any soap opera writer on their toes.
So, while fans twiddle their thumbs and count down the years, one can only hope that Dambuster Studios serves up a delicious offering of zombie chaos, sprinkled with just the right amount of dark humor and a side of “Oh no, not another zombie!”
