Are you ready to head back to the sun soaked beaches of a tropical island to kill some more zombies? Then prepare yourself for Dead Island Riptide.

The original Dead Island spawned one of the most memorable game trailers in a long time, and although the final release had its share of issues, it sold well enough to get a Game of the Year edition.  So it isn't too surprising that a sequel is on its way, but nothing is known about it yet beyond the title of Dead Island Riptide and the logo you see above.  The press release lists that more information will be coming through out the summer, but beyond that, let the speculation run wild!
