In the course of the Penny Arcade Expo, Deep Silver announced the first details about Dead Island: Riptide spreading a set of images showing some of the game's characters and settings that there will be grappling with other hordes of terrifying zombies. The developer has stated that it will be possible to import the character of the original title. This will mean that every statistic of our previous alter ego we will meet in the new game.

The title we will put before a variety of situations in which we must confront the undead in clashes "very close" as defined by the same development team. It will also be a weather system completely renovated and upgraded graphics engine.  In the course of the adventure we will have to deal with local weather such as floods and stormy rains. There are also quieter moments that will allow us to explore far and wide the various locations aboard small boats. Of course the danger will always be lurking under the rivers and ponds.

Dead Island: Riptide is expected on the market in 2013.
