African retailer Loot.co.za is listing a Dead Island: Definitive Edition for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

The game is listed as due out on November 13.

Dead Island publisher Deep Silver has yet to announce a current-gen version of the original game. A sequel, Dead Island 2, is in development for release in 2016, but recently dropped its developer.

I...asked for this.

Wait, no I didnt.

Ewwwwwwww

Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew · Jul 22, 2015

Dying Light happened. This is an unnecessary series now.

rootbeerafloat · Jul 22, 2015

Maybe if it's like $20 with Riptide and netcode that finally works I'll think about it.

It's gonna be $40, the netcode will be broken as shit, and you know it.

I don't really know

Trying to get in on that Dyling Light money.

Dead Island 2 canceled for this?

Bessy67 · Jul 22, 2015

Man, all these next gen ports and the only one I really want (Mass Effect Trilogy) is pretty much confirmed to never be happening. The only good thing about Dead Island was the trailer anyways.

Pretty much.

NavyPharaoh · Jul 22, 2015

Lol deep silver trying recoup that blown dead island 2 budget.

Data West · Jul 22, 2015

Deep Silver, how about Saints Row 1 & 2 & 3 'definitive edition' instead?

Exactly, play Dying Light instead. Dying Light is Dead Island 2.

I can get behind this.

Seriously, between this and Prototype as well as Darksiders 2, i'm thinking this shit is just getting out of hand...all i wanted was a KH HD remaster back, Ninja Gaiden Trilogy pack, a Batman Arkham Pack and a FF12/DQ8 pack.

Not completely pointless games like this, especially considering how redundant it is with Dying Light on shelves

antitrop · Jul 22, 2015

Dying Light was one hell of a game. I would recommend people to play that one.

Hero of Legend · Jul 22, 2015

Don't you mean Deadfinitive Edition?

fluffydelusions · Jul 22, 2015

From what I gather, the only memorable thing about this game was the original trailer which was quite good

It's alright. The story and characters are some of the worst I've seen in years though.

Aequitas · Jul 22, 2015

Can't wait to see Sam B rapping in glorious 60 fps.

lol jk dying light makes dead island irrelevant

jond76 · Jul 22, 2015

I will await to hear if there's any improvements. This was one of my fave games last Gen. So screw you guys, I may get this. Blah!

You are not wrong, they're atrocious.

I thought the gameplay was good enough to overlook that, though. What was harder to overlook was every mission being an extremely basic fetch quest. Other than that, great game.

RE_Player · Jul 22, 2015

Yes please.

Maybe if they remove the entire sewer bit, and the storyline.

KiefbladeMaster · Jul 22, 2015

I'll wait for a followup to Dying Light, thanks. Hopefully they improve the story/characters cause the gameplay was a blast.

Shizuka · Jul 22, 2015

I like how quick publishers decided to do "HD" ports of last-gen titles just by calling them "definitive editions".

LewieP · Jul 22, 2015

Data West said:

Also an actual definitive edition of Saints Row 4.

Edit: If they get a competent porting house to do Dead Island, but High Voltage Software to do Saints Row 4, I will shake my head in disappointment.

If any game from last gen deserves the High Voltage treatment, it's Dead Island.

MattyG · Jul 22, 2015

If it's DI1 and Riptide and $30, I'd be in. Maybe. Never finished DI and never touched Riptide.

Ricerocket · Jul 22, 2015

I loved Dead Island but a definitive edition? lol. It better come with improvements. Dying Light is the one to get if you want a definitive edition DI game.

Dog Problems · Jul 22, 2015

I was hoping for the Who Do You Voodoo, Bitch? Edition

Tapejara · Jul 22, 2015

I'm guessing this is to fill the gap in their release schedule that Dead Island 2 left?

Yeah speaking of which, where the hell is Dead Island 2?

edit: Oh.

Dead Island 2 is no longer being made by Yager

Exactly, but even still, Dead Island wasn't good enough to warrant this.

Data West said:

YES! I would replay them all over again, especially since Saints Row 1 was never on PS3 and Saints Row 2 didn't have trophies. =P

Until Dead Island 2 comes out we shall see...

sleepykyo · Jul 22, 2015

I don't know if I can go back to playing DI after DL. I would have given Dead Island 2 a chance, but nope to a definitive edition of Dead Island.

Isn't that game in development hell with multiple development teams getting axed? I bet Deep Silver needs all the money they can from this port...

Cheat Code · Jul 22, 2015

Only if they add the bloke from Riptide with super kicks.

They're having development troubles? Shocked, i am not.
Depending on the tone and gameplay Deep Silver is going for, DI2 might have a chance to differentiate itself from Dying Light.
If it's total shit from constant development hell then the rest is history.

paragonpro · Jul 22, 2015

This could be a test bed for Deep silver as they try to figure out what to do with dead island as a series now that Yeager has been kicked off of 2, if the remaster sells, continue working on it, If not, dead island 2 isn't worth the investment to them.

Fracas · Jul 22, 2015

I really like the first Dead Island but this is a poor idea for a port.

FrostuTheNinja · Jul 22, 2015

Because of the whole Darksider 2 rerelease, I read the title as "Deathinitive".

-MD- · Jul 22, 2015

I loved Dead Island but this is hilarious.

Are you sure? I didn't see any Analogue Combat in Dying Light

kevin1025 · Jul 22, 2015

The worst part is they will likely try to release Riptide separate.

red731 · Jul 22, 2015

Rivitur · Jul 22, 2015

I still expect a lot of bugs.

Obliterator · Jul 22, 2015

I feel like Dying Light literally killed Dead Island as a franchise.

Like I don't know if I can think of any other releases like that, where a single title almost made another franchise irrelevant.

JayEH · Jul 22, 2015

Nobody asked for this.
