Dead Island 2 pushed back to 2016

Dead Island publisher Deep Silver has delayed the open-world zombie-slaying game to 2016, the company announced today on the franchise's Twitter account.

"We have always set ourselves a big goal for Dead Island 2: to create the sequel that takes Dead Island to the next level," said Deep Silver in a Twitlonger post. "We have been looking at the game long and hard, and we have decided we didn't reach that goal we set out to achieve quite yet. This is why we have decided to delay Dead Island 2 to 2016."

Deep Silver announced Dead Island 2 during Sony's E3 2014 press briefing, and said at the time that it planned to release the game in spring 2015. Last month, Deep Silver delayed another one of its big 2015 games, Homefront: The Revolution, into next year.

"Right now we are focusing purely on development, and we will have more info to share at a later stage," Deep Silver said today. "We know that our fans will be disappointed by this news, but by giving Dead Island 2 more time we are confident that everyone will get a better game to play as a result."

Dead Island 2 will be the fifth entry in Deep Silver's Dead Island franchise, and the first to be made by Yager Development, the studio behind Spec Ops: The Line and the upcoming Dreadnought. Dead Island 2 is in development on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has been delayed!

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt developer CD Projekt Red has pushed back the game's release to May 19, 2015, the studio announced today.

The new date represents a delay of three months — CD Projekt Red had said in June that it planned to launch The Witcher 3 on Feb. 24, 2015. That announcement followed the news in March that the studio had pushed back the game into February 2015 from its original launch window of late 2014.

"We owe you an apology. We set the release date too hastily," said the board of CD Projekt today, in an open letter posted on the website for The Witcher.

"It's a hard lesson, one to take to heart for the future. We know what we want to do to makeWild Hunt one of the best RPGs you will ever play. And we continue to work hard to achieve just that. So, we apologize and ask for your trust."

CD Projekt cited a desire to "limit any bugs" as one of the main reasons for delaying The Witcher 3, along with "the sheer size and complexity" of the game.

"Now, nearing the end of our work, we see many details that need to be corrected. When we release the most important game in our studio's history, we must be absolutely sure that we did everything we could to limit any bugs to a level that will allow you to enjoy the game thoroughly," said CD Projekt. "With this in mind, we took another look at current workloads and what they mean for the team. Even though everyone is working at full speed, we concluded that we need another 12 weeks."
