Over the course of its development, the title has changed studios multiple times. Yager Development was originally set to helm Dead Island 2 once the series had been handed over from Techland - who went on to develop the parkour-heavy survival horror Dying Light - but was removed from the project in 2015 and replaced by Sumo Digital the following year. Part of the reason many believe there's been little to no news surrounding Dead Island 2 has been its rocky development. Whereas Dead Island: Riptide took a similar marketing approach with a harrowing trailer featuring a couple accepting their fate as zombies descend upon their washed-up boat, the reveal trailer for Dead Island 2 was far livelier in both its visuals and music choices, with a jogger in a California-esque location gradually transforming to a zombie as carnage ensues around him and " The Bomb" by Pigeon John blasts over his earphones. A Dead Island 2 re-reveal has been expected for a while now, with Goat Simulator 3's recent reveal at Summer Game Fest playing with these expectations by parodying Dead Island 2's 2014 trailer almost beat-for-beat, only with more goats and fewer zombies. The title itself was an open-world, first-person action RPG with a major emphasis on melee combat, as players could craft and modify their weapons to survive. When the first Dead Island launched, many fans were surprised by its tone and gameplay after the title's marketing, which featured a somber trailer more akin to a short film surrounding a family's last moments at the doomed, zombie-infested resort.
