Looks like creative differences b/t Yager + Deep Silver on Dead Island 2 are what led to Yager being dropped (http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2015/07/15/deep-silver-drops-yager-as-developer-of-dead-island-2-.aspx?utm_content=buffer749ed&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer)

”Our YAGER team is fully committed to the development of AAA quality titles," writes Timo Ullmann, CEO of YAGER Group. "We work closely with international publishers and partners and have at the same time always remained an independent development studio. Our team is made of the best creative minds and tech specialists who all share a common identity. The team worked with enthusiasm to take Dead Island 2 to a new level of quality. However, YAGER and Deep Silver's respective visions of the project fell out of alignment, which led to the decision that has been made. We’ll focus our current efforts on Dreadnought together with Six Foot and our publisher Grey Box as well as on new projects. More details will be disclosed soon. All I can reveal at this point is that gamescom will be awesome for Dreadnought.”
