The news comes from a recent Embracer Group report, as spotted by PC Gamer, saying that the Dead Island follow-up has "far surpassed" expectations in terms of units sold and overall revenue generated since the game launched in April.

Whatever the studio did seemed to work at least, as Deep Silver has announced that Dead Island 2 has not only reached an impressive milestone, selling over two million copies, but has become the publisher's most successful release to date.

Perhaps for that reason, developer Dambuster decided to go for a more irreverent approach for the sequel, injecting a dose of humor into the new entry. Sadly, the game didn't seem to do the teaser much justice, but it still had its following. While the 2011 release was not massively well received, it was praised for having one of the most emotional game trailers of all time. With Outlast Trials launching in early access recently, the success of the Resident Evil 4 remake, and new DLC for Dying Light 2 on the way, now seems like a good time to be a fan of horror gaming.įans of the original Dead Island had been waiting for years for a follow-up. It seems as though the wait for the hotly anticipated Dead Island 2 was worth it in the end, especially for publisher Deep Silver, which says the sequel has become its "largest launch" in terms of sales and revenue.
