Big Announcements and Discounts for 'Dead Rising' Fans
Earlier this week, Capcom unveiled that 'Dead Rising' is getting a deluxe remaster, an exciting update for the fan-favorite zombie game.
According to PureXbox, the announcement was coupled with major discounts on several games in the Dead Rising series. These discounts have seen multiple titles surge in the charts, notably "Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse Edition" and "Dead Rising 4".
"Dead Rising 4" is available for £5.09 in the UK and $5.99 in the US, an impressive 85% discount.
While the original Dead Rising is not included in these major discounts, it is still available for a reasonable £8.99 in the UK and $9.99 in the US. For those who previously claimed it as part of Xbox Games With Gold, it might even be available for free.
The highly anticipated Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is set for release in September and is already up for pre-order at £39.99 in the UK and $49.99 in the US.
The remaster aims to modernize the original game, offering improved graphics and additional content to appeal to both new and returning players.
ComicBook reports that the Digital Deluxe version includes 17 costumes for the protagonist, Frank West, many of which are inspired by characters from other Capcom games.
These costumes were initially partially hidden but quickly discovered by fans on the Dead Rising subreddit, who posted screenshots revealing characters such as Resident Evil's Leon S. Kennedy, Mega Man, and Street Fighter's Ken.
More Preorder Perks
Pre-ordering any edition of the game comes with three extra skins, including the classic 2006 Frank West costume, a Chuck Greene costume from Dead Rising 2, and the Willamette Parkview Mall Bee. This addition is likely to entice long-time fans and collectors.
About Dead Rising
Official Game Description:
Frank West, a freelance photojournalist on the hunt for the scoop of a lifetime, pursues a juicy lead to a small suburban town only to find that it is being overrun by zombies! He escapes to the local shopping mall thinking it will be a bastion of safety, but it turns out to be anything but. It's a true struggle to survive the endless stream of enemies, but with full reign over an entire shopping center, Frank can utilize anything to fight off the flesh-hungry mob and search for the truth behind the horrendous epidemic.
Dead Rising was originally released on August 8, 2006, for the Xbox 360. It quickly became a critical and commercial success, leading to its inclusion in the Xbox 360 "Platinum Hits" lineup and spawning three sequels: Dead Rising 2 in September 2010, Dead Rising 3 in November 2013, and Dead Rising 4 in December 2016.
