Dead Island: Riptide is an action RPG with hack-and-slash and shooter elements developed by Techland and released in 2013 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. A follow-up to the original Dead Island, it shifts the setting to Palanai, an island within the Banoi archipelago overrun by a zombie outbreak. Players control survivors — including a newly introduced playable character — who must fight through hordes of the undead, including new enemy types added to the roster. The game retains the series' emphasis on melee combat and improvised weaponry alongside ranged options, casting players as desperate holdouts struggling to endure as conditions on the island deteriorate further. The premise frames the survivors as having narrowly escaped their previous ordeal only to find themselves caught in an ongoing catastrophe, now contending with threats intensified by flooding and dwindling resources.
