A new mission-based DLC pack will be released for Dead Island, titled  ‘Ryder White’.

The Ryder White DLC campaign follows the story and perspective of the main game’s antagonist character and allows players to experience the events on Banoi through his eyes. Players will take on the role of Ryder White as a playable character in a single player campaign with several hours of gameplay as well as brand new weapon blueprints.

“I always like to think of antagonist characters not as evil, but simply….misunderstood,” Marketing & PR Tarantula Aubrey Norris argued. “Ryder White was obviously suffering from a massive case of beast mood in Dead Island, and I think it’s only fair we got to learn his side of the story.”

Dead Island’s Ryder White DLC will be available on January 31, 2012, for $9.99 on PlayStation 3 system and on February 1, 2012, for 800 MSP/$9.99 on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and Steam.
