No, fans will not be able to play their favorite post-apocalyptic game titled, "Dead Island 2" this summer.
Deep Silver has reportedly delayed the release date of its hit game until September according to iDigital Times.
Despite failing to give the reason why they had to bumped the release date, Deep Silver's senior programmer, Isaac Ashdown teased fans of the game's possible plot details with Red Bull.
"The trailer definitely matches the tone we're going for," Ashdown explained. "It's a kind of lighthearted take on what would happen if a zombie apocalypse came to California, and all the people who stayed behind saw it as an opportunity for a new way of life."
Futhermore, he explained that "Dead Island 2" will be more realistic, it will be more true to what the game is trying to make the players feel. Something that they failed to do during the first installment of the game.
"When you looked at the first game and the tone of the trailer, and then at how people were playing it, there was a kind of disconnect," he explained. "There was a disconnect between what the game was trying to get them to feel, and what they were actually doing. So we've gone the direction of creating a game with a tone that matches how people actually played."
"Dead Island 2" has been previously teased during Sony's E3 event last year saying,
"Several months after the events on Banoi, the United States military has put the Golden State under full quarantine," it stated.
"Now a restricted zone, California has become a bloody paradise for those who refuse to leave their homes and an action-packed playground for renegades who seek adventure, glory and a fresh start. Combining the classic Dead Island elements of immersive close combat, action and role-playing, Dead Island 2 features crazy, never-before-seen handcrafted weapons and over-the-top characters in taking players from the iconic Golden Gate to the celebrated beachfront boardwalk of southern California's Venice Beach."
