It’s a great environment for us to have that combat experience.” Furthermore, the setting allows for eccentric characters that fit the Hollywood lifestyle most people are familiar with through popular media. "The sun-drenched locations, the beaches, the exotic mansions of Bel-Air, and beyond. "There’s that vibrancy," Duckett continued. "There’s tons of opportunities and potential, both in terms of environments, but also in terms of characters, the personnel, and the zombies themselves that we can put into the game." Indeed, purely with their clothing, zombies can have a lot of diversity based on real-life occupations or styles that could look out of place in a remote island resort. "It's super diverse," said design director Adam Duckett. With that logic, virtually any location could be an 'island', so if Dead Island gets another sequel, it could theoretically be set in any city in the world.ĭespite not having chosen the setting of LA, Dambuster seemingly has a lot of passion for it. No one can leave or enter the city, so it is, in a metaphorical sense, an island. Once the evacuation was no longer feasible, the entire city was quarantined by the government, as it hoped to let the infection run out. RELATED: Dead Island 2 Has Been Delayed To April 2023ĭead Island 2's story is set following an evacuation that saw Los Angeles citizens attempt to escape the city after the outbreak began. Despite that, the team had a respectable answer. Its LA setting was confirmed back then, meanwhile, Dambuster Studios only took over the project in 2018. Dead Island 2 has had a particularly troubled development cycle, having first been revealed all the way back in 2014. Perhaps that's not the fairest question to ask Dambuster Studios, as it is the third team that's been charged with this developing this title. They were first asked the more technical question though, why is Dead Island 2 in LA if LA is not an island? In a recent interview with Game Informer, the heads of Dambuster Studios, the team making the upcoming Dead Island 2, explained why the game is set in Los Angeles, and why that adds to the game's themes, visuals, and world-building.
