As spotted by Wario64, Dead Island 2 was listed on Amazon with new cover art, screenshots, a release date, and an updated description. The screenshots show off some of the beautiful California scenery being ravaged by undead monsters and they to be in-game and not pre-rendered. The official description confirms that the game is still set in Los Angeles and players will play as someone who has been infected by the zombie virus, but is somehow immune. However, they will still have to "harness the zombie inside", though it's still a bit unclear what that means. As of right now, the listing notes that Dead Island 2 will release on February 3rd, 2023, but no information on when the game will be re-revealed has been given.

Dated Feb 3, 2023. This is a brand new listing on Amazon and not the one that's been there for like 84 years pic.twitter.com/l2PNjoHOpH
Dead Island 2 appears to be happening and it has some big shoes to fill. Since its announcement, Techland has released two Dying Light games which have both been praised by critics and sold extraordinarily well. It no longer has to follow up just the first Dead Island, but also offer something new and compete directly with the Dying Light series. As of right now, only time will tell if that will be possible.
