Deep Silver’s sequel to Dead Island, Dead Island: Riptide, is scheduled to be out sometime in 2013. Until then, get super bummed out from this trailer, and the premise of the game:
Furious monsoon rainstorms have laid waste to the island of Palanai in the Banoi archipelago, waters have risen and caused a flood disaster — because of this and the raging zombie invasion, a rescue mission for the survivors seems to be without prospect of success. All hope seems to have been lost for the surviving humans…
Whatever. Zombies!
Life is about to get awesome for PlayStation Vita owners – this November, we’ll have access to PlayStation Plus, Sony’s members-only club that gives early and/or exclusive access to betas, demos, and games. If you’re already a member, you’ll be automatically enrolled for the Vita as well, at no extra cost (PS Plus is $49.99/year). This is good news, as I don’t think there are many of us who would be willing to pay even more to have the same benefits on another platform. Willing to pay without complaining, that is.
According to the PlayStation Blog, the benefits that will launch in November are:
