Dead Island has been out for almost 5 months now and it's been slow to release the promised DLC, but it looks like Ryder White is what they've been building towards. This DLC puts you in the shoes of the main game's big bad, Colonel Ryder White. This is the guy responsible for trying to contain the zombie outbreak on the island of Banoi and he has to make all the tough decisions, as you can see in the trailer below.

Somehow I think this DLC is meant to make you feel bad about how things went for the colonel. It does seem pretty tragic. The trailer has a kind of 28 Days Later vibe to it, which is fitting and it works. It's not as good as that first mind-blowing trailer for Dead Island, but good stuff nonetheless.

This DLC is meant to be played as a single player experience, but since Dead Island is primarily a co-op game I wouldn't be surprised if developers Techland found a way to shoehorn 3 other players in there if need be.

Ryder White will be out on February 1st and will cost 800 MSP ($10 on PSN).
