Dead Island 2 has sold "well over 2 Million Units" • First Weekend sales of 1m "exceeding management expectations" • Biggest Launch ever for Deep Silver in Units and Revenue • "It is rewarding to see that the decision to give the studio time to polish the game has paid off"

Super stoked to share the release of the #deadisland2 #ost. It's been an honour to have been on the DI2 journey since 2018 and I'm really proud of what we've made. The OST has awesome contributions from @feelformusic and @rosstregenza. Big thanks to them also. Go take a listen!

Dead Island 2 is HUGELY underrated and @DSDambuster should be praised for releasing @deadislandgame on most platforms and having NO OPTIMIZATION issues at all across the board! Amazing combat, gorgeous graphics and a consistently fantastic 60FPS! COMPLETELY STANDS OUT when you look at the competition 👀 Want a game to jump into that starts straight out of the box? Go get yourself a copy of @deadislandgame! You won't regret it! @PLAION_UK @DeepSilverUK

Over one million Slayers have now touched down in HELL-A since @deadislandgame's launch last Friday. We can't quite put into words how happy this makes us. Thank you to everyone who has picked up our game! ❤️

2/2 A LOT of focus and engineering went into the load-balancing systems and optimisations needed to support a multi-generation,multi-platform,multi-player simultaneous release of the game. Hope to be able to share some of the strategies and techniques at some point in the future.
