The Full Story of Dead Island Riptide - Before You Play Dead Island 2

 

Dead Island: Riptide may have been positioned by Deep Silver and developers Techland as a standalone sequel to the original Dead Island, but though it wasn't a numerical follow up, from a narrative perspective, it very much felt that way. The upcoming Dead Island 2 is, of course, going to feature a new cast of characters and a new setting, which means it'll be quite divorced from its predecessors where its story is concerned, but there's plenty about the characters of the universe and things such as the zombie virus outbreak and its origins that get more light shed on them in Riptide. To that end, then, here, we're going to follow up on our recent recap of Dead Island's story and cover the full story of Dead Island: Riptide.
