The zombie-decapitating sim Dead Island 3 is still being developed, according to financial documents from Dambuster Studios that were published on X and reported on by Video Games Chronicle . These documents suggest a 2028 release date, so that's something to look forward to.
The paperwork says the development is "moving at pace" and that "parts of the game are now in early production." These parts reportedly include feature design, world design, narrative and character design.
We already knew this game was in development, as Dambuster posted on Steam earlier this year that "the outbreak is far from over." The idea of Dead Island 3 makes a whole lot of sense, given the success of the second one . The company has sold over 4 million copies of the game since 2023.
