As winter crushes down upon us all, it's as good a time as any to consider a tropical vacation. Banoi is lovely this time of year, with or without the zombie outbreak. If a looming undead threat gives you pause before booking travel, perhaps this bit of DLC news from Deep Silver will make you reconsider your plans.

The Ryder White DLC pack is a single-player, story-driven download that lets players see how things went down through the eyes of antagonist Ryder White.

“I always like to think of antagonist characters not as evil, but simply…misunderstood,” says Deep Silver's Aubrey Norris. “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.”

The download includes several hours or gameplay and some new weapon blueprints. Look for it on the PS3 on January 31 for $9.99, and a day later on the Xbox 360 for 800 Microsoft Points.

    The main reason I play dead island is for the co-op. I wonder why they chose DLC that is solo.

    I still haven't quite gotten around to playing this game. Much less getting the DLC! though I will certainly be getting around to it one of these days!

    I just got Dead Island last week at GS, I'll probably buy the DLC. Very entertaining game.

    So they aren't making this DLC pack available for the PC version Jeff?

    the reviews for this game did not please me, but since i have no say in that, the first time i layed my eyes on dead island i fell in love, not because its a zombie game, but because its a zombie game that you can find anything inside of the game to use as a weapon to beat the crap out of the maggot infested bodies that get in your way!
    ahhhhhh nothing like upgrading your bat so it has nails sticking out of it,,did i mention you can also light it on fire?

    Hopefully it's better than the actual game. Not to say that it was bad, but certainly nothing worthwhile.

    I let my friend borrow this not too long ago. Safe to say I'm going to be asking for it back.

    I can't really say that I'm terribly excited for this DLC.

    Eh...Dead Island was a lackluster experience for me at best, but to be fair I'm sure it was mostly because I played through the game solo since I didn't have Xbox Live Gold at the time and I had to learn through punishing frustration that venturing through the game alone is not a viable option unless you have the patience of a saint. I'm curious however that since this DLC will focus on the exploits of a single person (and not four) maybe it will actually be tuned for a single player in regards to difficulty. Either way I'll keep my eye out for a review once the DLC comes out and base my decisions on that.

    THIS sounds very promising. Looking forward to more Dead Island!

    I will definitely be buying this. I still play this gem from time to time.

    Speaking of Dead Island DLC, did anybody here buy the arena content? I didn't hear anything about it.

    I loved Dead Island, but the ending and Ryder White himself quite disappointed me. I mean, throughout the game the guy claims desperatly for help with a geeky mood and insecure british accent, then you find out he's the coronel or something and so he appears with a Rambo face and a tough speech, C'mon...
