It has been confirmed that Dead Island 2 is coming back. This time will be developed by Sumo Digital. Are we going to see its release date this year?

Based on the trailers released of "Dead Island 2", there's one way for me to describe it; it's really clean. If there's an award for the cleanest game ever-visually of course, not clean in a sense that it's morally clean, the game is filled with murder for crying out loud-this game would win the visually cleanest game. I mean despite the gore and the blood and the killing, the game still looks really clean, it's probably the sun.

This game is rumored to be released on August last year; however this was delayed by Yager Development and Deep Silver (Developer of "Dead Island 2"). Dead Island 2's official Twitter account first announced it; tweet below

Dead Island 2 is speculated to be a knee-jerk reaction to the positive response that critics and gamers about the parkour system in Dying Light, and that Yager Entertainment plans to follow-up that success by putting Parkour/Free Running elements to Dead Island 2.

However, the most interesting part of the report, one thing that captured my eyes was when they said that Yager Development is going to add some "light Parkour/Free Running elements" in "Dead Island 2", this is to add to its already awesome theme. This addition has received nothing but positive response from critics and gamers alike. However, it is not being compared to Dying Light, according the Yager Entertainment; the Parkour element is to compete with Dying Light.

But hopes were torn last year as Yager Development and Deep Silver separated ways and Dead Island 2 was no more... was

Ullmann told

, "Having a project cancelled in such a late state is a catastrophic event on so many different levels. It really is the worst possible outcome. Everybody involved loses."

As a result of the cancellation, Yager Productions was shut down because it is "single-purpose" division of the company and a lot of jobs were lost.

Whilst other left to start their own companies, Ullmann added, "I really don't blame them, and we wish them all the best. It's tough, and not being given the chance to finish Dead Island 2, that... that hurts, you know? Right after the announcement a part of the team was a bit shell-shocked, of course, but you have to motivate yourself to keep going. Cancellation of projects, especially if the stakes are so high, is not unheard of. It hurt us, yes, but it happens."

However, recently, Deep Silver announced that it's going to continue with 'Dead Island 2' this time with Sumo Digital.

Dr. Klemens Kundratitz (CEO of Koch Media) said,

"Sumo showed so much understanding of the brand, had creative ideas and an excellent, vision that was aligned with our own. It just made perfect sense for us to move the project to them. We will reveal more details at a later stage, but for now I'd like to say that we are obviously super excited about the progress that we are making with them."

Paul Porter (COO of Sumo Digital) said,
