Available job listing on Dambuster website suggests that aside from current-gen release, renowned AAA sequel of Dead Island is currently planned to launch on future platforms and an art director is required to lead their team.
Regardless of its past delays, next installment of Dead Island series is a top-priority for publisher Deep Silver. Koch Media CEO Klemens Kundratitz has assured earlier that the game is still in works and is going to be a kick-ass zombie game.

Originally survival horror game series Dead Island was created by Polish studio Techland and made its debut back in 2011, which was followed up by a stand-alone expansion Dead Island: Riptide and spin-off title Escape Dead Island.
Techland eventually came up with a brand-new IP titled Dying Light in 2015 that would became even bigger success and development of Dead Island 2 is handed over to Yager Development, who previously worked on Spec Ops: The Line.

Soon after, Yager parted ways over creative differences with Deep Silver and British developer Sumo Digital became its new project in-charge. After a while, all progress is revealed to have been handed over to Dambuster Studios in 2019.
Dambuster is likely to re-reveal for Dead Island 2 soon with a release window of next year for players to anticipate its arrival. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will be out on market in the mean time if not delayed by Coronavirus pandemic.
