Dead Island 3 Hinted At By Deep Silver Creative Director
Deep Silver’s creative director Guido Eickmeyer has more than hinted at a future sequel in the Dead Island series.
Making the comments during a Reddit AMA he said: “I would not expect the series to stop at this point.”
Dead Island: Riptide was release earlier this year to a lukewarm reception but the series still has legs in Deep Silver’s eyes, as evidenced by the announcement of Dead Island: Epidemic – a free-to-play MOBA game.
Should another full sequel be made, Eichmeyer reassured fans that it would remain true to the series’ open world gameplay.
“I would say that exploration in an open-world game is key to being fun,” he said. “Size is not the only answer here as not every gamer would like to have a Day Z kind of experience, but you want to feel being part of a world, not a linear corridor of events.”
