Capcom is bringing back the zombie-filled chaos of Dead Rising, the 2006 cult classic, with a fresh remastered edition. This revamped version promises to take the beloved game to new heights, catering to the latest generation of consoles and PCs.
Experience Dead Rising like never before
You will soon have the chance to dive back into the terrifying world of Dead Rising, this time with stunning 4K resolution and a smooth 60 frames per second, thanks to Capcom’s RE ENGINE. In this remaster, you step into the shoes of Frank West, a determined photojournalist who finds himself trapped in a shopping mall overrun with zombies in the fictional town of Willamette. Your goal is to survive while uncovering the secrets behind the outbreak.
Capcom isn’t just stopping at visual enhancements. The remaster also introduces several thoughtful improvements to make your experience more enjoyable. One of the most welcome changes is the ability to receive radio calls without interrupting your combat, meaning you can stay in the action without being pulled out of the moment. Additionally, you can now perform other actions while on these calls, streamlining gameplay and making it more intuitive.
A richer experience with beloved characters
Fans of the original will be excited to hear that Capcom has teased deeper introductions and more background for some of the series’ most popular characters. You’ll get to know DHS agents Brad Garrison and Jessie McCarney better, along with the mysterious Dr. Russell Barnaby, whose roles are set to be more fleshed out in this version. These enhancements are designed to provide a richer and more engaging narrative as you fight your way through the hordes of the undead.
Classic elements with a modern twist
The remastered edition of Dead Rising doesn’t just bring back the game’s signature dark humour and over-the-top combat—it amplifies them. You can expect to wield a wide array of improvised weapons and don some of the wackiest costumes available, staying true to the original game’s spirit. The notorious “Psychopath” boss characters will also return, providing the same level of challenge that has become a hallmark of the series.
For fans eager to relive the mayhem or for those experiencing it for the first time, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is available for pre-order now. The game will launch on September 19 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam, with a physical release for PlayStation 5 following on November 8.
