Dead Island: Riptide – “Water will heavily influence gameplay”

Dead Island: Riptide isn’t just about killing zombies with an arsenal of weapons, water will also play a key role in the game.

Creative Producer of Deep Silver, Sebastian Reichert revealed to Gaming Bolt the effect water would have.

“We added the element of water, which will be  heavily influencing the gameplay through different aspects, be it dynamic weather, a new vehicle (a boat) and new quests.”

“A very important new gameplay element is also the hub defence  gameplay that offers a whole new quest experience that was not available in Dead  Island.”

He also told us why there isn’t a Dead Island 2 yet:

“After the release  of Dead Island, we got a lot of feedback from the fans that they would want to  learn more about the fate of their characters. Fans want to have “moa, nao!”

The full game is due out next year for Xbox 360.
