In a year teeming with remakes and remasters, Capcom’s Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is poised to stand out from the crowd. A new story trailer has dropped, offering fans an exciting glimpse into the upgraded world of Willamette, Colorado, where photojournalist Frank West’s zombie-infested adventure begins.
The trailer efficiently establishes the narrative framework, introducing Willamette’s mall as the epicenter of an unprecedented zombie outbreak. Frank, driven by journalistic instinct, finds himself trapped in a 72-hour struggle for survival alongside a diverse cast of characters.
Visually, the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster shines thanks to Capcom’s powerful RE Engine. Character models sport enhanced facial expressions and intricate details, breathing new life into the decade-old classic.
While new voice actors have been brought on board, fans will be pleased to hear many iconic lines from the original game have been preserved. The Erotica’ photo category has been removed though.
Gameplay-wise, Capcom has maintained the core experience that made Dead Rising a cult classic. This includes the original soundtrack that fans were so fond of. Players can freely explore the mall, tackling main quests and side missions to uncover the truth behind the outbreak.
Alternatively, those seeking pure carnage can focus on dispatching zombies with an array of improvised weapons.
Set to launch on September 19th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with physical copies following on November 8th, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster aims to prove that classic gameplay concepts can still thrill when enhanced by modern technology.
