Dead Island 2 was developed by Dambuster Studios and takes place around 15 years after the events of Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide, and takes place in a zombie-infested Los Angeles, which has been placed under quarantine to contain the virus.
The game was plagued by a troublesome development cycle, with multiple studios attached to the project since 2014. Yager Development was originally behind the project before being replaced by Sumo Digital in 2016, with Dmbuster Studios taking over in 2019.
