New Dead Island DLC Slated for February!

There is so much zombie content out there, that I’ve forgotten what other “monsters” are available in today’s media. I mean, I know they exist in the wild; they just aren’t as prominent as they used to be. For every movie/show involving Vampires that glitter in the sunlight or ones that date fairies, there is like four or five that feature zombies chewing on people’s faces. As a fan of the undead, any news on potentially good zombie content is well received. That brings me to Techland’s most recent title, Dead Island. This game just happens to be a piece of media that not only fits nicely into the face chewing category, but also has new content to share!

Deep Silver announced yesterday that they have upcoming DLC that gives a different perspective on Dead Island’s story. Called “Ryder White”, the DLC will show what happened with Ryder during the zombie outbreak. For those who don’t remember Ryder, he was the guy over the intercoms that warned you of the outbreak at the beginning of the game. He was stuck at the prison and promised of a way off the island. Well, now you get to see what happened to Ryder, learn about his motivations, and see why he did what he thought he had to do.

If you played Dead Island at all, you knew this DLC was coming (it was listed under extras in the options menu). My only issue is the fact that it is a single player experience; Dead Island is a co-op title after all. A small gripe seeing as how it goes along with the story. The additional blueprints and weapons featured in the DLC, helps my getting-over-it attitude. Ryder White will be released on February 1st at 800 MS points ($7.99 via PSN and PC). Be sure to check it out!
