Dead Island: Riptide is officially announced with a bunch of screenshots showing that the archipelago has been completely flooded, making survival even more difficult. The city of Henderson and the jungle of Palanai Island will then only be explorable by boat and the weather conditions will affect visibility. A fifth character will join the original cast to face new types of atrocities and mutations. The survivors will often have to defend their base and protect it with fences for example.
The survivors of the zombie-apocalypse on the once beautiful island resort of Banoi escaped in a helicopter to the safety of a military ship. When a furious storm hits and the virus suddenly spreads throughout the crew, the nightmare starts all over again, leaving hope drowning in the rising tides. Devastated by a monsoon, the island of Palanai is crawling with new zombie mutations. A fifth character with an all-new skillset will join the team, providing much needed support. Additional multiplayer communication features and brand new hub defense missions will test the survivor’s teamplay skills.
Dead Island Riptide will be released in 2013 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Surprising how much a game can change when water is added to the same level.
The boat thing sounds kinda lame though. No mention of new enemy types either, which is a must seeing as nothing in the game put up much of a challenge. Boss fights would be awesome too. I guess it's that sort of stuff that seperates the likes of dead island from the awesomeness of borderlands. Dead island has tons of potential, and don't get me wrong, in co-op it was a blast, it just could have been so much better.
I loved the first game!!!
