Speaking to ComicBook, Druckmann said the fact that those two games were announced years before they eventually came out, it created some hardships for the people making them.

Dead Island 2 is a game that was announced nine years ago, disappeared for long stretches since, and has changed developers more than once.

That's an exciting prospect for zombie genre and RPG fans, and if you've lost the plot over the past near-decade, don't worry. Here's everything you need to know about Dead Island 2, including its release date...
Growing up, I never played Dungeons & Dragons. It was probably a combination of the game seeming overwhelming with its many races, classes, and rules to learn, but also because it seemed like it was too dorky for a kid who was already spending most of his time playing video games--cool ones, though. However, and as my eventual career path would prove, I was lying to myself. I found the appeal of Dungeons & Dragons growing stronger as I discovered hilarious shows like Nerd Poker and, more...
Twitch streamer MissMikka has accomplished a legendary gamer feat in Form Software's Elden Ring: She's killed two Malenias at the same time with a standard controller and an unconventional dancepad controller.

Malenia's not the first Elden Ring boss to be taken down in this way. The...

Though Team Ninja has certainly kept busy over the years, churning out fast-paced, hack-and-slash action games and fighting titles in rapid succession, it's been a few years since the studio has unveiled a new IP. However, all that changes with Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, the next big project from the Japanese developer.
Revealed last summer during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a Souls-like action-RPG based on Luo Guanzhong's 14th-century historical novel...

Flying cars are no longer a thing of science fiction. Thanks to Aska, we may have them sooner than expected.
According to a CNET report, Aska is preparing to showcase the A5 sometime "within a month" and to purchase one, and it'll cost you $789,000 with a $5,000 deposit. The vehicle is about the same size as an SUV with propellers on top, similar to a helicopter, and fits into a traditional parking space.

Xbox Game Pass announcements have looked a little differently recently. At the beginning of the month and mid-month, Xbox traditionally releases official announcements stating what games are arriving and departing the service.
