Dead Island 2 spent around a decade in development before it came out to surprisingly solid reviews. The game sold extremely well at launch and it appears it’s doing great. It remains to be seen if Dead Island 3 will follow suit but we’re hoping it won’t take the developers as long to make it happen.
