Dead Island 2: Out Of Development Hell Into The Millions

Deep Silver as well as Dambuster Studios have done what they could not do a console generation ago with Homefront: The Revolution.

Yet it may not be an issue now.

Dead Island 2 was launched on April 21 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Collection, COMPUTER (Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4, and also Xbox One. Certainly, we don’t recognize what proportion it made on which system, but we ‘d wonder to see a PC-to-console percentage, provided the present lack of a Steam version.
