This was when CEO Lars Wingefors briefly mentioned Dead Island 2, stating that it is still “being worked on,” and that fans of the series should “stay tuned.” That’s it. Last week’s presentations covered a lot of business updates with regards to THQ Nordic's operations, but it did shed some light as to titles currently in development across the THQ Nordic banner. This situation remains largely unchanged with the recent financial call for THQ Nordic, who is a major shareholder in Deep Silver.

They’ve since moved onto the Dying Light series, which has generally been received as a better version of what Dead Island was trying to accomplish. The sequel was originally being designed by original Dead Island developers Techland. That being said, it’s hard to deduce exactly what kind of shape Dead Island 2 is currently in.
