Dead Island II Not Being Made With Yager, Not Being Made At All

[News Portal]

A rumour began on the German arm of IGN that Spec Ops: The Line developers, Yager, were working with Deep Silver on a sequel to Dead Island, after ads seeking a lead artist and art director to work on the game had cropped up. Development Director of Deep Silver Guido Eickmeyer has put the end to that rumour, stating that “We are neither working with Yager on Dead Island 2 [...] nor do we have Dead Island 2 in concept or production with external partners."

I read that last part a little differently, they are saying they don't have anything involved with external partners, they didn't say they weren't making it at all.

Hopefully they are, me and a mate enjoyed the campaign in coop from start to finish...

I think that if they fixed everything that was wrong with Dead Island, they could have a shot at success, but really, the dev build on release, the bad UI, the racist stereotypes, the silly AI, poor balancing, and weird bugs made Dead Island very difficult to enjoy. Unfortunately, I think that Day Z has filled the zombie niche that people have been hankering for.

Nice wording on the title

Isn't the next title called "Dead World"? Or was that just a random wikipedia edit?
