Normally when games enter the "development hell" period, the final outcome is a huge disappointment. Dead Island was released in 2011 and, after it's (still) emotionally-charged and amazing trailer - was more or less a generic zombie-killing game that sold solidly but had an otherwise lukewarm reception. Dead Island 2 was planned for a 2015 - and also go a pretty good trailer but all the game languished, changed studios multiple times and was almost written off as DOA - until here we are in 2023 and Deep Silver finally delivers the goods. What's more important is that, while not breaking the mold, Dead Island 2 has turned out to be a decent game after all.
