Dambuster Studios has posted a social tease confirming work on Dead Island 3, and the image suggests the sequel will move beyond Los Angeles. The studio’s social post, shared on September 9, 2025, namechecks 20 million players and includes a clear location hint.
The post celebrates more than 20 million players in Dead Island 2, coupling that milestone with an evocative image captioned, “When there’s no more room in Hell-A.” The caption borrows from Dawn of the Dead’s tagline, and the artwork implies familiar characters like Jacob may return. At the same time, the backdrop hints at a new, unspecified city beyond Los Angeles. Fans have parsed the art for clues about architecture and signage that don’t match LA. The implication is straightforward – Dambuster is signalling a different setting for the next outbreak.
14 years ago Dead Island made its gory debut.
Today, Dead Island 2 has dragged 20 million Slayers into the sunny chaos of HELL-A.
The next outbreak? Dambuster is already drenched in the work.
