And finally, in 2019, development on Dead Island 2 changed hands once more, this time to Dambuster Studios, who saw it through to completion. Just a year later, Yager was dropped from Dead Island 2's development, and Sumo Digital was eventually announced as the game's new developer in 2016. Announced in 2014, Dead Island 2 was originally being developed Yager after original Dead Island developer Techland decided to jump ship and start work on the first Dying Light game for Warner Bros.

While Hollow Knight: Silksong and Dead Island 2 aren't quite on the same level in terms of development journeys, with Silksong only being announced in 2019, it's still become an infamously long-awaited title, and its next reveal could easily end up outdoing even Dead Island 2's comeback announcement. Starting development as just a DLC expansion, Hollow Knight: Silksong quickly expanded its scope during development, and is now launching as a fully-fledged sequel to the incredibly successful 2017 Indie hit, Hollow Knight. For many fans, Dead Island 2 hasn't exactly been worth the wait, but when it comes to Hollow Knight: Silksong, that likely won't be the case. Technically announced all the way back in 2014, Dead Island 2 has been in various states of development for almost a decade, and now it's actually out, allowing the masses to play it, and for the most part people think it's fine. Against all odds, Dead Island 2 has been one of those lucky few. There are very few games that enter development limbo and actually manage to come out.
