Sam B was one of the most popular and important Dead Island characters, and DI2's Jacob is set up to inherit Sam's status for a DI3.
Dead Island 3 is officially in development according to a report released by Dambuster Studios Limited. Targeting a 2028 launch.
I played the second game 30 minutes and realized I really hated it. I don't see how the third game would change much.
Really enjoyed number 2. The game was basically open world even if they said its not.
Would be fine by me. Dead Island 2 was awesome and underrated imo. I feel like they should do away with the multiple playable characters though. I think it hinders and actually already pretty solid story. Just have one voiced main character that the story is built around.
