From the Press Release
This DLC offers a unique new perspective into the incidents in the main story of Dead Island: 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.

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!
