Dead Island 3 is targeting a Q1/Q2 2028 launch window. The key detail comes from reporting that points to Dambuster Studios' financial documentation, with the sequel's current aim framed as early 2028 rather than a vague "someday". If that window holds, it's a very different vibe than the famously messy road to Dead Island 2—and PC players, PlayStation fans, and Xbox hopefuls can at least start penciling in "first half of 2028" as the conversation starter instead of pure speculation.
Dead Island 2's modern re-reveal explains why fans are reacting so loudly to any real date talk. If you want a quick refresher on the series' tone, the GameSpot gamescom ONL 2022 reveal trailer for Dead Island 2 is still the cleanest snapshot of its sun-bleached chaos and over-the-top gore. That trailer marked the moment the sequel felt "real" again after years of limbo, and it's exactly why a concrete Dead Island 3 window—even one as far out as 2028—lands as news instead of noise.
South of Midnight arrives on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in Spring 2026. The platform jump matters because it shifts the game from "must-own Xbox or PC" into a broader, late-gen showcase for narrative action-adventure fans, and the timing is specific enough to plan around even without an exact day-and-date. The announcement was made publicly by the studio, so this isn't just chatter—it's an actual release window you can quote. Check the official Compulsion Games announcement post on X if you want the cleanest primary-source wording.
How to download South of Midnight on Xbox or PC right now is straightforward if you follow the platform you already use. On Xbox Series X|S, open the Microsoft Store (or the Game Pass library if you're subscribed), search South of Midnight, then install to internal storage if you want the smoothest load times; on Windows PC, the simplest routes are the Xbox app install flow or grabbing it via Steam if that's your ecosystem. If you want to sanity-check what you're downloading against the official marketing beat, the Xbox "South of Midnight" launch trailer pins the game's launch framing and availability, which is handy when storefront listings get cluttered with editions and DLC.
Supreme Experiment is now announced as a first-person sci-fi action-adventure overrun by robots. The pitch leans hard into moody exploration and survival vibes—humanity has retreated, machines kept running, and the surface has developed its own strange order—so if you're into atmospheric FPS pacing with mystery-forward worldbuilding, this is one to watch. The easiest way to get a feel for it is the IGN official announcement trailer, and the high-level premise is also spelled out clearly on its Steam listing.
How to wishlist Supreme Experiment on Steam takes about ten seconds and is the best way to avoid missing its release date once it's set. Open the Supreme Experiment Steam page, sign into your Steam account, then hit Add to your wishlist—Steam will surface notifications when the planned release date updates or when a demo/playtest drops. As of now, it's confirmed for PC via Steam with the release date listed as "to be announced", so wishlisting is basically your low-effort "follow" button.
