The overview reveals the primary focus of the studio is now Dead Island 3.

Quote, after the release of Dead Island 2 Ultimate Edition in October 2024, the primary focus for Dan Buster's studio is now Dead Island 3, the report states.

All developers are assigned to the project, and once the Luna and Mac versions of Dead Island 2 are complete, all of Dan Buster's QA team will be assigned to Dead Island 3."

The report continues, "...parts of the game are now in early production with feature character, world, and story designs moving at pace.

The current predicted release window for the project is Q1 or Q2 of 2028."

As for Dan Buster's main risks, the report states that these stem from, quote, having the right version and mission to know which games are trending in three to five years, staying on top of engineering standards of AAA games, as well as having the right talented team available for working on projects, end quote.

Awesome news.

Everybody knows, probably don't actually because we never talk about it, but I like Dead Island 2.

I didn't think, I forget what I gave it on whatever scale we were even using at the time.

I'm kind of funny to review it, but it was an enjoyable open world zombie romp.

Yeah, so it's like, this is what we're talking about from before.

Yes, take all the lessons and all the reviews and all the criticisms from that game and make a Dead Island 3.

Keep that team together.

Don't lay everybody off.

Go ahead and iterate on that and make something hopefully better and even more fun.

Well, Dan Buster put out, like, nobody's going to catch this, but they weren't ready for Bogo Rad 222 on Twitter to be digging through the financials.

That's wild.

Yeah, good for them.

Good for them.
