This time, it's the total opposite of a delay.

After being delayed several times already, one might expect that another news post about Dead Island 2's release date means yet another delay was announced. Thankfully, today's Dead Island 2 release date news is good! After slipping from a February 3, 2023 release to an April 28, 2023 release, it was announced today that Dead Island 2 will now be out on April 21, 2023!

It's not a whole heck of a lot of time, but moving that...

A tale as old as time.

After suffering from delay after delay after delay for the better part of a decade, Dead Island 2 has been delayed once again. The co-op zombie smashing bonanza has now been delayed from its planned February 3, 2023 release date to an April 28, 2023 release date.

The game's current developer, Dambuster Studios, made the announcement in a way that should be all too familiar to us: They posted an image of text on the dying website that is Twitter dot...

Dead Island 2 seems to be back from the dead... again.

Dead Island 2 was announced way back at E3 2014. The announcement trailer was pretty great. It was supposed to be out Spring 2015. Then it was delayed until 2016. Then the Dead Island 2 developer, Yager, was dropped by Deep Silver. Then in 2016 it was reported that Sumo Digital took over the development of Dead Island 2. Then in 2019, Sumo Digital partnered with 2K for some mystery projects, with at least one presumed to be Dead...

Time to play dress up.

Volition promised, and so they delivered. Today, a special customization showcase for the upcoming Saints Row reboot took place. This showcase not only showed off character customizations but also some customizations for weapons and vehicles.

Saints Row creative director Brian Traficante detailed the customization aspects over on the PlayStation Blog in addition to there being a new video showing them off. We'll start with the vehicle and weapon...

Will focus on customization. Obviously.

Volition has been rather quiet when it comes to all things Saints Row over these past several months. The last we heard about Saints Row was when it was back in November 2021 when it was delayed by several months from February 25 to August 23, 2022. Before that, we were at least given a lengthy gameplay reveal video.

That silence was broken today as Volition and Deep Silver announced a big customization showcase for Saints Row. This...

Coming May 22 for consoles and PC.

Deep Silver just announced that Sperasoft have been working on remastering Saints Row: The Third for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. This "complete remaster" will be released on May 22, 2020.

Just how complete is this remaster? According to the announcement, the team has remodelled every weapon, every car has been redesigned, and a "vast proportion of the city" has been retextured. In total, around 4,000 different...

Has it really been a year already?

On January 28, 2019, publisher Deep Silver announced that Metro Exodus would be a timed-exclusive on the Epic Games Store (affiliate link). In the here and now, this is a fairly common pile of crap that we're used to seeing and experiencing. At that time, however, it was the early days of these sorts of announcements. Outrage was palpable. Tempers were on edge. And so on and so forth with the cliches.

Metro Exodus would be exclusively...

The apocalypse continues on consoles and PC in 2020.

Wasteland 3 has been announced and confirmed for a Spring 2020 release on the Xbox One, Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation 4, Windows, Mac, and Linux. This was confirmed via inXile Entertainment and Deep Silver this week at E3.

The series continues the turn-based combat and adventures in a post-apocalyptic wasteland (ha) and returns players to a role of Desert Ranger. These rangers are "lawmen in a post-nuclear world working...

It's now coming just two weeks after Death Stranding.

Shenmue III has officially been given a three month delay. This news comes courtesy of a Yu Suzuki update to the official Shenmue III Kickstarter page. The game was originally slated to drop on August 27, 2019 but has now been pushed back until November 19, 2019.

This now places the game just two weeks after the release of Death Stranding and just four days after Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. I'm sure there will be...

I guess technically it would be the 'PC Game Pass' then.

Microsoft announced a new Game Pass today. Unlike the current Xbox Game Pass, this one is tailored specifically for the PC owners out there. Microsoft says that they have designed a Game Pass experience that specifically meets the needs of PC gamers and PC game developers.

The Xbox Game Pass for PC, but it will give PC gamers access to a library of over 100 PC games on Windows 10. Some of the developers that are...

New content includes new playable characters, a flamethrower, and more.

Earlier today, Deep Silver announced the details of their Expansion Pass content for Metro Exodus. This content will include two major pieces of story DLC. These will be all-new stories told through the eyes of two different characters. One is through a "new character" while the other will be told through Sam, the only American on the Aurora and one of the Spartan Rangers.

The expansion can...
