You've all seen the trailer, but new Dead Island screens have recently surfaced from GDC, and look like confirming our fears. Will Dead Island be just another generic zombie game? | FPS Tribe

Dying Light: The Beast is Steam Deck verified, Techland announced today!

Techland: “Game development is never a straight line, and sometimes fresh approaches are necessary to make great games. What’s important here is that none of the reported changes have resulted in staff reductions. Developers were moved to other projects and are working on a number of games in our pipeline.
Our primary focus right now is to release Dying Light: The Beast for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. After the launch of Dying Light: The Beast, we will share more about future titles in due time.”

Techland, the studio behind the Dying Light franchise, has recently registered a new trademark for a project titled Dying Light: The Beast.
looks like a great game in the works to me
When I think of L4D w/ just melee, it sounds kinda meh. Wasn't a big fan of that mode. I'll have to see some gameplay before I reserve judgement.
A good classic zombie game? looks like win to me.
So long as the open world gameplay delivers it can look as generic as it wants.
There's not much you can do with the zombie genre in terms of uniqueness anymore. It has been over-saturated almost as much as the FPS genre by both movies and games like Dead Rising or L4D.
