With only two days remaining until the release of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, a game announced just a few months ago that aims to bring Capcom’s license back into focus. This marks the first episode the Japanese publisher has chosen to restore, following an HD upgrade in 2016. Although this PS5/Xbox Series version is marketed as a remaster, it features significant graphical improvements that make it almost a reboot, if not entirely. The story, however, remains unchanged; it still centers on survival within a mall overrun by zombies. Frank West will investigate the situation using his camera and any other resources he can acquire. After all, with 20 years having passed, the player base has changed, and not everyone is familiar with Dead Rising.
The release of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is anticipated for September 24 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. The game revives Capcom’s classic title with significant graphical upgrades, nearly resembling a reboot, while maintaining the original storyline. Initially announced months ago, this remaster will be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Players will once again control Frank West as he navigates a mall overrun by zombies, utilizing his camera and various found objects for survival. With a refreshed player base unfamiliar with the original game, this remaster aims to introduce Dead Rising to new audiences while preserving its core mechanics.
