Dead Island Sequel Details Announced

Today, publisher Deep Silver announced the details of a forthcoming game: Dead Island Riptide. The Dead Island franchise got going last year with a pretty exciting trailer—and somewhat disappointing reviews after the fact. Even still, if memory serves correctly, the game sold pretty well, and now developer Techland will be resurrecting (HAHA) the franchise with this new sequel.

Back on the islands with dynamic weather conditions and a new character to join the mix, Dead Island Riptide is…well, it’s another game about zombies and stuff. You kids like zombies, right?

The game’s set for release in 2013, and if you pre-order it, you can get a fancy-schmancy steel-book case that come with all the games these days. Check out the images above.
