Metr: Last Light and Saints Row 4 coming in 2013

Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Koch Media the new owners of Volition and the Metro franchise, claims that the original scheduled release will remain as it is.

Publisher Deep Silver set their goal as a 2013 release period for their recently acquired IPs; Metro: Last Light and the next Saints Row game...

Klemens says that "Other publishers are very ambitious, but they aspire to grow their businesses in ways that aren’t healthy". Koch Media knows just where Deep Silver is situated in the game industry, and seeks a "less ambitious future" regarding their titles.

Klemens has "no doubt" that both games will be released this year, stating that they are not facing any setbacks that could interfere with the planned 2013 schedule.

Having purchased Volition studios and the rights to the Metro franchise, Deep Silver is gaining some attention, but at the same time strengthening their own reputation; so much so that today, one of their biggest games, Dead Island, has achieved the 5 million copies sold across the globe. "Dead Island has an incredibly active and enthusiastic community, and we are thrilled to welcome the five millionth player to the world of Banoi", says Klemens.

As a result, Klemens rightfully says: "Overall, Riptide has a very strong tailwind going into the launch". Dead Island: Riptide, their latest iteration on the franchise will release 26th April, just a few months from now.

I know that Deep Silver have mentioned that Riptide is only a spin off and not a "true" sequel and most people have been complaining that everything seems very similar to the first with an addition of a few features...isn't that all Gearbox did with Borderlands. Add a number 2 on the end, add a few features and its a sequel. Don't get me wrong I LOVE Borderlands 1 and 2, so not changing the forumla in some cases will work. At least fans of the first will enjoy it :)
And Can't wait for SR4!

Riptide doesn't seem like a sequel but just an expansion to the first game so I may get Riptide (if I have the money) but Dead Island 2 is what I'm waiting for. :)

Dead Island was crap, I doubt I will bother with Raptide :/
From what I saw it looks pretty much the same as DI1.

If you saw the gameplay of riptide there is a new character(i think) and NPCs will attack zombies and there will be boats and a new defense sequences in the game where you defend a place.

Riptide is just an expansion to Dead Island imo and that Dead Island 2 will be where its at. Think of it like how Assassin's Creed did it, Brotherhood and Revelations didnt change too much because they were like a prologue to Ezio's story (AC2) and were not true sequels to the game and then came along the true sequel AC3.
P.S. you gotta admit though Dead Island was a first step to what zombie games can do to actually change for the better.
