Grab your camera and baseball bat – it’s time to return to Willamette! Capcom’s zombie-slaying classic Dead Rising has been resurrected for modern platforms with the release of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. This souped-up version of the 2006 original is now available digitally on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Steam.
More than just a simple remaster, this new edition rebuilds the game from the ground up in Capcom’s RE Engine. Players can once again step into the loafers of photojournalist Frank West as he battles hordes of the undead in a zombie-infested Colorado mall. The remaster features upgraded 4K visuals, smoother 60 FPS gameplay, and a host of quality-of-life improvements to bring the Dead Rising experience into 2024.
Some key new features include:
- Revamped character models for Frank, psychopaths, survivors and zombies
- Expanded language support with voice acting in 9 languages
- New photo filters to get creative with Frank’s camera
- Gameplay tweaks like moving while aiming and auto-save
- 17 wacky new costumes for Frank in the Digital Deluxe edition
The core 72-hour survival gameplay remains intact, challenging players to uncover the truth behind the outbreak while rescuing survivors and battling psychopaths. With its over-the-top action and anything-goes approach to zombie slaying, Dead Rising remains one of Capcom’s most unique and beloved franchises.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is available now digitally, with physical editions coming to PS5 and Xbox on November 8th. Whether you’re a series veteran or newcomer, now’s the perfect time to experience Frank West’s original undead adventure. Just remember – he’s covered wars, you know.
