- Capcom has officially announced Dead Rising Remake.
- The first teaser trailer shows a revamped version of Frank West and teases a 2024 launch.
- Dead Rising was previously remastered for the PS4 and Xbox One.
Capcom has already remade various Resident Evil games, with recent reports stating that the company is also considering a remake of Resident Evil Code Veronica. This treatment has led to demand for similar remakes for other IPs in the publisher’s catalog.
Interestingly, Capcom has just announced Dead Rising Remake.
Why it matters: The Dead Rising series has been dormant for far too long. Prior to this announcement, fans had already wanted a remake for the IP.
Capcom has just debuted Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster with a small teaser trailer. This is a revamped version of the original classic from 2006 and attempts to introduce the IP to a new audience.
However, what’s interesting here is that the project seems to be much more than a remaster. Comparison screenshots show what appears to be a full remake, with Capcom seemingly underselling its work by calling it a remaster.
Frank West appears to look quite different from his original counterpart. However, some fans have criticized the new design, calling him a completely different character. On a more positive note, the game seems to be on track for a 2024 launch.
It’s also worth noting that Dead Rising has already been remastered in 2016 for the PS4 and Xbox One. This is further evidence that this project is more of a remake since it would be pointless to remaster the same game multiple times.
Nonetheless, the series still has plenty of potential, as it has reached the 16 million sales milestone. The potential success of this re-release could pave the way for a brand new entry that fans have been craving for the longest time.
Dead Rising 4 is still the latest entry that Capcom has released for the IP. Since then, the publisher has been more focused on Resident Evil, but this surprise announcement has sparked buzz within the community. Many are now hoping for a bigger focus on the series moving forward.
