But what we do know, thanks to Deep Silver’s Aubrey Norris, is that Dead Island: Riptide will be retailing for $10 less than what most retail games typically sell for. Sleuths at Ripten noticed that online stores had Riptide priced at $50. Inquiring with Ms. Norris via Twitter , they learned that the price is “not a placeholder” and that Dead Island: Riptide, while “not a remake” of the original, will still be sold at $50 due to it coming out at “the end of a console cycle.”All we know otherwise is that the game is slated to come to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, and that an “extensive reveal” for Dead Island: Riptide is set to come sometime this summer.
