Fans also believe that the developers have revealed the setting of the new "zombie sandbox".
Dambuster Studios stated that they are "already immersed in work" on the next "zombie outbreak" and emphasized that "the journey is far from over".
Along with this message, an illustration was published featuring Dead Island 2 protagonist Jacob leaving Los Angeles, dragging a suitcase decorated with stickers referencing various countries. Among them is a kangaroo, clearly indicating Australia, as well as stickers related to Ireland, the Roman Colosseum, and Banoi Island, the setting of the first Dead Island. Some fans also noticed that Jacob is holding beads, which may be a hint at New Orleans.
Although the stickers could be considered merely decorative, Dambuster themselves fueled the interest by responding to a fan's question about the future setting of the game. The studio stated that they "don't know" where the next infection will ignite, but pointed to the "beautiful picture attached to the post". This gave fans reason for speculation, and many are now confident that the next installment in the series will send players to Australia.
