10 Gaming Predictions For The Rest Of 2016
3. Deep Silver Confirms Dead Island 2 Is Cancelled
The Prediction: The long-awaited sequel to 2011's hit zombie game will be quietly cancelled (if it hasn't been already), and then finally confirmed by publisher Deep Silver before the end of the year.
Why It Will Happen: Dead Island 2's development history has been a nightmare, from constant delays to a change in developer at the start of 2016. Would it surprise anyone if Deep Silver just cut their losses and bailed on the franchise?
Why It Might Not: Cancelling a game so shortly after appointing a new developer seems like a strange move, and it instead may either indicate that a) Deep Silver are fully committed to getting the game made or b) its cancellation won't happen until next year.
