1 articlesIt’s been a while since we last saw a new entry in the Dead Rising franchise. The latest one, which was Dead Rising 4, was released back on December 6, 2016, and fans of the series haven’t had anything new for the past nine years.
There was supposed to be a Dead Rising 5, but unfortunately, the project was cancelled back in 2018 due to Capcom Vancouver ceasing operations.
Needless to say, longtime fans have been dying to see a new entry to the franchise. That might seem to change any time soon, as a report suggests that a new Dead Rising game might be secretly in the works.
According to a report by MP1st, one of their trusted sources has claimed that a major Dead Rising project is in the works.
It’s not a remaster or a remake of some sort, but a completely new entry to the series.
Their sources also went on to share a bunch of exciting details, particularly the return of the much-beloved protagonist, Frank West.
Capcom Might Be Working on a Dead Rising Sequel Starring Frank West
Information revealed by MP1st suggests that the new Dead Rising game will be set in Hollywood. The game has been in development since 2023, and players will get the chance to reconnect with familiar characters from the previous games.
Obviously, one of them is Frank West, who will play as the main character. He will be accompanied by a bunch of other characters as well.
As mentioned, the game will take place in Hollywood, with the main story set in a film set, and the main antagonist will be the film director who set up Frank and other survivors to create what he’d call a “perfect movie.”
If this information is to be believed, then it would have perfect timing with the recently released Dead Rising remaster, which featured improved visuals and various quality of life improvements.
Another thing of note is that Capcom mentioned they’re working on “reactivating dormant IPs” last year, following the announcements of the Okami and Onimusha sequels.
While all these details sound too exciting, it’s important to take everything with a grain of salt, as usual with leaks and insider info like this.
So far, Capcom hasn’t released any official announcement regarding a new Dead Rising game. But if it turns out to be true, then it would certainly be an exciting thing that fans can look forward to.
