Dead Island 2 really is "Dead"

So Dead Island 2, the REAL sequel to the love or hate zombie mauling RPG has lost its developer. 

Supposedly being released this year (actually about 3 months ago) and then being delayed until TBA 2016, Dead Island 2 could be nothing more than brain food for much longer than we thought.

Yager, the team behind Spec Ops the Line were in charge of developing this sequel, and the live action trailer with some nice gameplay demos, made the game look really quite promising.

It had everything the first game should have had, and that was comedy and style. Also going up against Dying Light, it was important that it showed some distinguishable differences in the kind of game it was, which couldn't have been easy, considering Dying Light was pretty much a spiritual successor to Dead Island anyway.

SO the bottom line is, Yager are no longer developing Dead Island 2, which means the game is condemned to the pits of development hell. But hey you never know, maybe Gearbox will take it under their wings just like they did with Duke Nukem and Aliens, because they were unfortunately gracefully saved from similar problems.

What do you think about this news?
Were you looking forward to littering the sunny suburbs of California with buckets of brains, bones and blood? Or could you not care less, because lets face it, Dying Light was good enough.
