Dead Island dev releases info on Mad Riders downloadable title

We'd be lying if we said we weren't hoping for some more zombie-chopping from Polish studio, Techland, the developers of the hit action title, Dead Island. What we've got instead is a completely new arcade-racing ATV game. Which actually looks like it could be quite a bit of fun.

They announced the game back in February, but now we're getting some of the first info about the game, including a trailer that's embedded below. Now we know that we can expect the game to launch on XBLA, PSN, and PC on May 30 at the delightfully cheap price of $10 or 800 Microsoft Points.

The game looks to be an offroad, stunt-filled, arcadey-ATV racer in the same vein as the criminally underappreciated Pure. Check out the trailer below. We'll have to give the game a full review to find out whether it stacks up against games like Pure, but we'll be glad to have a new entry in the arcade racer genre, especially at just $10.
