Dead Island 3 Development Progresses Towards 2028 Launch

Exciting news for fans of the Dead Island series: Dambuster Studios' financial documents have confirmed that the much-anticipated Dead Island 3 is in full swing, with a projected release in 2028. This upcoming game promises to continue the thrilling zombie-decimating action that the franchise is known for.

Although the game is still under development, it's moving forward quickly, with critical components like feature design, narrative structure, world-building, and character development already entering initial production stages. This suggests that fans can expect a polished and engaging gameplay experience.

Earlier this year, Dambuster Studios hinted at the project's continuation via a Steam post stating, 'the outbreak is far from over.' Given the commercial success of Dead Island 2, which has shifted over 4 million units since its launch, a sequel was all but inevitable.

A Significant Gap but Worth the Wait

The anticipated 2028 release will introduce a five-year hiatus between the second and third installments. While this might seem extensive compared to franchises like Assassin's Creed, it's relatively standard for Dead Island, whose second game endured a protracted development phase spanning almost ten years since its 2014 announcement.

Stay tuned for more updates as Dambuster Studios continues to refine Dead Island 3, aiming to deliver another immersive gaming experience. With the groundwork laid over the past years, the next chapter in this zombie-infested saga promises to captivate players once more.
