Dead Island 2 Announced for PS4, Xbox One & PC

   

California Dreamin': Deep Silver Reveals Dead Island 2 at the 2014 Electronic Entertainment Expo

The zombie apocalypse has hit the iconic, sunny realms of California as Deep Silver announced Dead Island 2 today. Building on the strengths of the multi-million best-selling hit Dead Island, Dead Island 2 delivers a shared survival, open-world zombie experience set in a clash of natural beauty and bloody horror and violence: paradise meets hell once again!

Developed by award-winning studio Yager, Dead Island 2 is scheduled for release in spring 2015 on the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and PC.

Several months after the events on Banoi, the United States military has put the Golden State under full quarantine. Now a restricted zone, California has become a bloody paradise for those who refuse to leave their homes and an action-packed playground for renegades who seek adventure, glory and a fresh start. Combining the classic Dead Island elements of immersive close combat, action and role-playing, Dead Island 2 features crazy, never-before-seen handcrafted weapons and over-the-top characters in taking players from the iconic Golden Gate to the celebrated beachfront boardwalk of southern California’s Venice Beach.

Developed in Unreal Engine 4, Dead Island 2 brings back its acclaimed, seamless multiplayer for up to eight players who cooperate, compete or simply coexist in a truly social, new-gen multiplayer experience. Dedicated classes offer a variety of gameplay: From the action-oriented berserker to the stealthy hunter, every character offers a different style of play. An in-depth skill system allows the player to handcraft their own heroes and weapons.

　　在Sony Computer Entertainment 发表会中曝光的新作里，以奇特内容让人留下印象的就是Deep Silver 僵尸动作游戏《死亡之岛2（Dead Island 2）》（PC／PS4 ／Xbox One）了。在Deep Silver 展区中也公开了实机游玩影片，同时我们也打听了些情报。
 
　　《死亡之岛2》的游戏舞台是在一个从地图上不管怎么看都不像是「岛屿」的加利福尼亚州。在前作的舞台，南太平洋的虚构岛屿上发生的僵尸病变虽然各政府都成功防止疫情了，但有几个地区还是无法抵挡疫情而成为了隔离地区，而其中之一就是加利福尼亚州。

　　在游戏中从旧金山到洛杉矶，以及广大的优胜美地国家公园等地区都是游戏舞台。在这些成为无法地带的地区中，也存在的少许具有对僵尸菌免疫的人，
虽说是为了生存而战，但也享受着自己所追求的逆境。而这些笨蛋们就是本作的主角。
 
　　玩家操作角色的职业除了有前作《死亡之岛：激流》的「Bersarker」「Speed​​er」「Bishop」「Hunter」这4 种之外，还有一个未发表的职业。合计 5 种。
 
　　在E3 2014 所公开的宣传影片中，最后驾驶改造厢型车登场的人物就是名为「Max」的中年男子，还带着叫做「Rich Furry」的宠物猫咪。
 
　　Max 本身虽然对僵尸菌没有免疫能力，但还是为了追求新生活而刻意前往被隔离的加利福尼亚州，是一个怪人。在游戏中会给予玩家各种任务，在故事中有着非常重要的地位。
 
　　另外，这次并不是由《死亡之岛》原开发商Techland 经手，而是过去曾开发过《特种战线(Spec Ops:The Line)》等作品而闻名的「Yager Development」担任开发工作。
 
　　游戏引擎也不是Techland的「Chrome Engine」，而是采用Epic Games 最新游戏引擎「Unreal Engine 4」。不知道是不是因为这样，使得《死亡之岛2》的图像变得非常精致并具有冲击性。僵尸腐烂的皮肤也描绘的很仔细，在终结技等画面有许多脸部出现时，景深效果的处里也让背景有着不错的感觉。
 
　　而本作的僵尸因为采用自动生成系统的关系，所以不会看到有相同风貌的僵尸。另外，猫咪「Rich Furry」也是利用动态撷取来呈现动作的。另外，跟游戏没有直接关系的气球也透过物理模拟来忠实呈现等，给人一种开发团队在意想不到的地方也注入心力的印象。
 
　　跟游戏游玩有关联的则是有单人游玩的战役模式以及多人连线模式，跟像是可无接缝式介入型的网路模式。虽然目前还没有详细的说明，但可得知有对战模式，Co-op 模式，或者是可以在相同世界[词语过滤-#0048]存的各种内容。关于这部分就期待之后的情报吧。

Dead Island 2 delayed to 2016
Deep Silver 僵尸动作游戏《死亡之岛2（Dead Island 2）》正式延期至2016年

　　开发商Yager宣布大受瞩目的丧尸题材生存游戏《死亡之岛2》将延期至2016年，对此开发商的解释是为了让游戏“达到更高的高度”。开发商在他们的推特上说，他们为游戏设立了一个巨大的目标，而且为了能够让粉丝们玩儿到称心如意的作品，整个团队需要更多时间来达到之前定下的目标。

　　Yager表示他们原先是想在今年的春天之前完成本作的，但是游戏延期将能够保证作品的品质。本作最早于2014年E3公布，并宣布在2015年春季发售。《死亡之岛》的初代作品是由Techland开发的，但是之后他们跑去开发《濒死之光》，因此《死亡之岛2》的开发工作就交给了Yager公司。



Dead Island 2 has been delayed to 2016

We have always set ourselves a big goal for Dead Island 2: to create the sequel that takes Dead Island to the next level. A game that takes what our fans tell us they love about Dead Island – multiple different characters to play with, co-op, and turning a paradise setting into a zombie slaughter melee – and a game that adds a ton more content and combat options on top of that.

And we wanted to have all of that that done for release in Spring 2015.

We have been looking at the game long and hard, and we have decided we didn’t reach that goal we set out to achieve quite yet. This is why we have decided to delay Dead Island 2 to 2016.

Right now we are focusing purely on development, and we will have more info to share at a later stage.

We know that our fans will be disappointed by this news, but by giving Dead Island 2 more time we are confident that everyone will get a better game to play as a result.

Yager comments on being dropped from Dead Island 2
《死亡之岛 2》延至明年上市 Deep Silver 宣布与负责研发的 Yager 解除合作关系

　　Deep Silver 今日在官方推特宣布，针对旗下知名殭尸生存动作游戏《死亡之岛 2》，Deep Silver 与负责研发的 Yager Development 解除了合作关系，《死亡之岛 2》将延期到 2016 年上市。

　　《死亡之岛》一代是由 Techland 负责研发，去年在 E3 展公开续作《死亡之岛 2》时，则是由曾开发过《特种战线》等作品的「Yager Development」担任开发工作。 但 Deep Silver 今日表示，公司一直致力希望提供给《死亡之岛》粉丝值得收藏的续作，经过慎重考虑，他们宣布了与研发伙伴 Yager Development 分道扬镳的决定。 他们将会持续努力将他们的《死亡之岛 2》版本问世，未来也将与玩家分享新的消息。

　　《死亡之岛 2》的游戏舞台为加利福尼亚州，游戏从旧金山到洛杉矶、优胜美地国家公园等地区都囊括其中，而去年在 E3 展时透露，将会有五种职业；最初官方宣布预定 2015 年春天问世，但后来今年 4 月底才宣布将延期到 2016 年上市。



Yager's Statement

We're sorry to announce the termination of our joint project with Deep Silver. As of now Yager is no longer responsible for the development of Dead Island 2.

Timo Ullmann, CEO of Yager Group, elaborates: ”Our Yager team is fully committed to the development of AAA quality titles. We work closely with international publishers and partners and have at the same time always remained an independent development studio. Our team is made of the best creative minds and tech specialists who all share a common identity. The team worked with enthusiasm to take Dead Island 2 to a new level of quality. However, Yager and Deep Silver's respective visions of the project fell out of alignment, which led to the decision that has been made. We’ll focus our current efforts on Dreadnought together with Six Foot and our publisher Grey Box as well as on new projects. More details will be disclosed soon. All I can reveal at this point is that gamescom will be awesome for Dreadnought.”

Just as the many fans of Dead Island we sincerely hope that DI2 will shape up to be the great experience everyone has been waiting for.

Sumo Digital Takes Over Development of Dead Island 2
《死亡岛2》将由Sumo Digital开发商接手制作

　　《死亡岛2》最初于2014年E3中公开，此前该作品经历了延期风波后，游戏发行商Deep Silver于2015年7月确认Yager工作室不再负责本作的开发。此后官方一直未透露本作将由哪家工作室接受，而日前根据最新报导，官方已经确认本作将由Sumo Digital负责继续开发。

　　日前国外媒体MCV透露了这一情报，Koch Media的CEO Dr. Klemens Kundratitz表示：“Sumo Digital 展示了他们对这一品牌的充分理解，他们拥有充满创意的点子以及和我们一致的优秀愿景。”“对我们来说将这个计划交给他们非常棒。我们将会在近期内公开最新的情报给大家，不过现在我可以说我们对于和他们合作所取得的进展表示非常兴奋。”

Sumo Digital 来历

　　Sumo Digital 目前曾开发过《小小大星球3》（Little Big Planet 3）和《索尼克与世嘉全明星赛车：变形》（Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed）等知名作品，而该工作室的COO Paul Porter对于接手本作开发则表示能够接手Deep Silver这款重要系列的新作可以说是一种荣誉，他表示：“我们期望利用雄心勃勃的设计制作出超过粉丝期待的东西，我们有信心将游戏带到全新的水平。”



Sumo Digital takes charge of Dead Island 2

UK studio Sumo Digital has been handed the task of developing Deep Silver's Dead Island 2, MCV can reveal.

The horror shooter was first announced at E3 2014 during PlayStation’s press conference, and was being developed by Spec Ops: The Line creators Yager.

However, publisher Deep Silver terminated its relationship with the studio in July 2015 because it ‘wanted to make no compromises’ with the franchise. Yager Productions has since filed for insolvency.

“Sumo showed so much understanding of the brand, had creative ideas and an excellent, vision that was aligned with our own,” Koch Media CEO Dr Klemens Kundratitz told MCV.

“It just made perfect sense for us to move the project to them. We will reveal more details at a later stage, but for now I’d like to say that we are obviously super excited about the progress that we are making with them.”

Sumo Digital has previously handled triple-A IP including Disney Infinity, LittleBigPlanet and Forza. The studio is also working on Microsoft’s new Crackdown game.

“It’s an honour to be charged with the evolution of such an important franchise in Deep Silver’s catalogue,” said Sumo COO Paul Porter. “We’re looking forward to exceeding fan expectation with an ambitious design that we’re confident will take bone-crunching, visceral, zombie action to a whole new level.”

This is Deep Silver’s second investment in UK development. Its upcoming shooter Homefront: The Revolution is being created at Nottingham-based Dambuster, which it owns.
