Siliconera has spotted a trademark filing from Dead Island developer Techland for a “Dead World”.
Thanks to the success of Dead Island, could this be the name of the sequel? If so, it would seem to imply that the plague has spread out from Banoi and infected the world.
Another possibility is a new game portal similar to Halo Waypoint, which would allow Dead Island gamers to use a social networking hub to play co-op, exchange movies and screenshots, and for Techland to distribute new content.
Regardless, Techland gave a ”no comment” when inquiries where made into the trademark. Stay tuned.
