Dead Island Riptide Gets Release Date

Dead Island Riptide Gets Release Date

Pre-order details included

Written by osubluejacket on 31 October 12 at 15:02

Deep Silver recently dropped a few nuggets of info on their upcoming Dead Island Riptide. First and foremost, is the release date of April 23rd, 2013 in the USA and Canada and April 26th, 2013 for the rest of the world.

Secondly, is the announcement of some pre-order goodness for their next zombie-killing adventure. Gamers will have their choice between pre-ordering two different editions of the game.

* Pre-order Edition: This version of Dead Island Riptide will include an exclusive pack of weapon mods that allows even more, manifold ways to dispose of the ghastly zombie hordes on Palanai island.

* Special Retailers Edition: In addition to the weapon mods this version will contain an alternate character skin not obtainable anywhere else! The Special Edition of Dead Island Riptide will only be available at selected retail partners. Details about the retail partners per territory offering the Special Edition will be announced soon. The Special Retailers Edition will also feature an alternative packshot.
Finally, there's some gritty (most-definitely NOT shiny) box art.

Dead Island Riptide will be hitting retailers on April 23rd, 2013 in North America and April 26th worldwide.

Thanks to the many members of the community who suggested this news!

I sort of feel like this game may end up getting a delay or two, but maybe not since this console is on its way out. Devs might be pressured even more to meet deadlines, which could be good or bad. In any event, this is one of my most anticipated titles of 2013, which might just be the best release year we've ever seen during this console generation.

OMG. I'm such a detail nerd. My first thought was "That zombie hasn't been in the water long because he's not bloated enough."

Wow im surprised any game would go up against the might of GTA V.
I know its not the same month but way too close for comfort. This might just get lost in the smoke!

I'll wait this time. After buying Dead Island the first time for $60, I want to spend no more than $15-20 on this.

Next xbox will be 3d ready and a controller optional as we'll be using omni-tools. Now this gives me a reason to get the 360 version so I can get my 360 friends into this and we'll be ready when riptide comes out. I do enjoy the original Dead Island on steam so I hope the 360 is as up to date with bug fixes as the pc title.

The pre-orders seem very boring. The mod that was the on the first games pre-order wasn't too great either.

Can't wait for the game though. =]

Enjoyed the first, especially with the analog controls for the immersion. I am looking forward to this.

I enjoyed Dead Island but not enough for me to jump into a continuation so quickly, I'll just have to put this on hold for a while.
