US EditionDead Island 3 Due Out First Half of 2028, All Developers at Dambuster Studios Now Working on It
Dambuster Studios reallocates all developers to Dead Island 3, aiming for a Q1/2 2028 launch with early production underway and 194 staff reported in March 2025.
- Yesterday, Dambuster Studios, the Plaion-owned UK developer, confirmed Dead Island 3 is in development with a target release window of Q1/2 2028.
- Parts of the project are now in early production with feature, character, world and story design progressing rapidly, following a tease earlier this year by Dambuster.
- All developers at Dambuster have been reassigned to Dead Island 3, and the report said the QA team will move over after the Luna and Mac versions of Dead Island 2 are finished, with 194 employees on payroll as of March 2025.
- That shift affects Dead Island 2 port schedules, as the studio-wide refocus means its Luna and Mac ports must finish before QA moves, reflecting Plaion's focus on the franchise with over 20 million Slayers.
- Observers note the studio teased Dead Island 3 earlier this year and a teaser trailer could appear in 2026, while teaser imagery keeps the setting under wraps but suggests it is not in LA.
