Dead Island Riptide

Dead Island Riptide is the new Dead Island game that continues right after the original. Don't be confused with the title it's not a dead island 2 but more of a part 2 of the orginal.

The game continues right after the ending of the orginal. A raging monsoon hits the survivor's helicopter causes them to land on a militiy ship but the virus has found a way to stay alive on the heros causing the majority if the ships crew infected turning them into the undead, starting a whole new outbreak. The ship is taken away by a riptide making them land in the island of Palanai in the South Pacific. The ship landing on the island may have caused the island to be infected because of the hundreds of infected crews members getting out and attacking the uninfected people of Palanei.
