Zombie game Dead Island 2 has brought in over 20 million players since its release. 

That's according to publisher Deep Silver, which wrote on its website that developer Dambuster Studios was already working on more content for the title or franchise. Dead Island 2 debuted back in April 2023. 

"It's been 14 years since Dead Island first splattered onto the scene, stranding players in the blood-soaked paradise of Banoi," the company wrote. 

"Since then, the zompocalypse has crawled from tropical shores to the sun-drenched chaos of HELL-A in Dead Island 2, where over 20 million Slayers have left nothing but carnage behind.

"This isn’t the final cut though. Dambuster Studios is already carving out what comes next.

"For now, the details stay under wraps, the outbreak is far from over..."

When Dead Island 2 was released it sold one million copies within its first three days. The title contributed to a 47 per cent increase in net sales for parent company Embracer Group.
