Dead Island: Riptide has just received its launch trailer, celebrating the game's release this week on the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 platforms.

The first Dead Island was a surprise hit, earning lots of praise from actual gamers even if it had quite a few issues and its critical reception wasn't the most impressive.

Now, developer Techland and publisher Deep Silver have just released the launch trailer for Dead Island: Riptide, the next chapter in the series.

As you can see in the footage above, Riptide may boast the same tropical island environment but there are quite a lot of new things, ranging from the new types of zombies to the new playable protagonist who joins the crew of characters from the first game.

Dead Island: Riptide is already available in North America and comes out in Europe and the rest of the world on April 26.
