Not that you could ever become tired of killing zombies in Banoi, but Deep Silver has gone ahead and created some more great content for Dead Island. How sweet! Now you have delicious DLC pie to go with your zombie slaying cake.

From the Press Release
This DLC offers a unique new perspective into the incidents in the main story of Dead Island (review here): This time the player will get the chance to play as Ryder White, the antagonist of the main game, and learn more about his motivations and why, from his point of view, he did what he had to do. This fresh take on the Dead Island story shows Ryder White both as a military man and a loving husband.

The DLC stars Ryder White as a newly playable character and offers a single player campaign with several hours of story content with twists and turns that will shed new light on the game’s happenings. Two blueprints and weapons will further expand the already impressive arsenal of Dead Island.

The new DLC is single player only, but it allows you to witness part of the storyline never told before--namely, why Ryder White became the crazy lunatic you see in the main storyline. You can also find some new weapons and blueprints to slaughter more zombies with. The DLC is expected to be released on February 1, 2012, so get your 800 Microsoft or £7.99 if you're playing on Playstation 3 or Steam. This came just in time for you Dead Island junkies who have been looking for your next zombie fix!
