Meanwhile, "Dead Island 2" release date updates from Attack of the Fanboy reported that a leak to the game's beta site has started to circulate.
"NeoGaf user matrixman92 has found the official Dead Island 2 beta site where users can input their promo code from pre-ordering at Gamestop/EB Games and is a retailer exclusive at the moment. If you go into the FAQ for the Dead Island 2 beta it reveals that PlayStation 4 users who choose it as their console of choice for the beta will receive it 30 days earlier than those on PC and Xbox One," the article read.
"The FAQ also goes on to mention that a launch date for the beta has yet to be announced but those who register their code will receive it two weeks prior to the beta going live. They also have the ability to change their platform by simply re-inputting the code and choosing another platform. We hope to have an announcement for the beta soon for the sandbox zombie title."
