It appears that the Dead Island series won't end with Dead Island 2, as the game's official pages are hinting pretty directly about a third entry.
A recent post on social media indirectly says Dead Island 3 is in the works:
The post says the "journey is far from over", and that developer Dambuster Studios is "already drenched in the work".
Additionally, the image reads "When there's no more room in Hell-A...", teasing a new location for the next game.
The news comes alongside confirmation that Dead Island 2 has reached a player milestone of 20 million.

That's not bad at all for a game we all thought was lost to time before it bounced back, ultimately launching in 2023.
Here's hoping it won't take quite as long to make the third title, especially as Dambuster found a winning formula in the end.

Make some likable characters this time around.
A surprisingly decent game this, wasn’t expecting a great deal from it but it was real solid in pretty much every aspect. Good laugh in co-op too
I was really surprised how well 2 turned out. I was expecting a dumpster fire after hearing about the development hell it went through.
When Dead Island 2 was free on PS+, I said that I'd try it but I would bounce off the first second that I got bored or frustrated. I didn't expect to finish it. 25 gameplay hours later I had the platinum. I was shocked by its adequacy. I'll give 3 a shot when it's out.
Played DI2 twice over for both PS4 and PS5 100% and enjoyed them both immensely so would be over the moon at the prospect of a DI3.
I really enjoyed my 100 hours on DI2. The only criticism I have is that I found the melee combat gameplay too slow and heavy feeling. I'd like something faster and more punchy next time.
@Alps_Stranger one of my more fun platinums in recent memory. great time and nothing overly frustrating to do
I contributed! Currently playing Dead Island 2 right now and enjoying it a lot.
Same experience as everyone. Went in with low expectations with all the issues it had pre-launch and was really surprised. Downloaded it from PS+ and was hooked. And their plan worked because I actually did buy the DLC on sale because I had such a good time with it, which both were good. Was nice to have some humor in it too even with the dark themes. I also got the platinum which I don't often do.
Expected it to be a disaster after the development issues. It ended up being a throughly enjoyable game albeit clearly downsized in scale. I'd like to see them make another.
I really enjoyed DI 2 last winter. Got the platinum in the end and had a great time. Bring on #3
Really bounced off 2. Was just to boring and repetitive gameplay-wise
@Damage99 Seriously it was the one reason I never bought the game because the characters were so annoying.
I really liked Jacob, the only character I’ve played as.
Zombie games are the Isekai of our medium. It doesn't matter how many exist, or how popular they seem to be online, hordes of people will always consume them
It was enjoyable game. Much better than Dying light 2 imo, a bit under the radar I think and my friend had a touch to it
They say they’re “drenched in work” maybe they are heading to Seattle for the next game. It’s not too far from HELL-A
