Microsoft and Capcom Vancouver have officially announced Dead Rising 4 for both Xbox One and Windows 10 PC.
The game was confirmed during Microsoft’s E3 2016 press conference, and is launching sometime this holiday. The developer also confirmed the game is a one-year timed exclusive on Windows 10 PC’s and Xbox One.
You can find a synopsis below, via Microsoft:
Frank is back in Willamette, Colorado, 16 years after the events of the original Dead Rising. A mysterious outbreak has overrun the Willamette Memorial Megaplex Mall and surrounding town with deadly predators… and Frank soon realizes that what’s dead doesn’t always stay that way.
As Frank seeks to uncover the truth behind the outbreak, he faces new undead enemies, including the Fresh – newly zombified victims that will turn in front of his eyes, and exhibit superior speed and ferocity. He also has to tangle with the Evo – zombies with superior strength and mobility that mimic the behavior of predatory hunting animals.
Additionally, several fan-favorite Dead Rising features return, including the ability to combine hundreds of weapons and vehicles to combat the horde – ranging from the practical, to the practically insane. Frank also gets access to all-new EXO Suits, giving him super-strength and incredible firepower, as well as the ability to rip down objects in the world to use as weapons. From giant pipes to parking meters, the world is filled implements of mass zombie destruction.
We’re also bringing fans a new approach to multiplayer, allowing you to play together with four friends to complete missions and conquer the zombie-infested Willamette Memorial Megaplex. Or you can use quick match to join a game in progress with players around the world.

June 19, 2016 at 8:20 pmEven something that doesn’t have any of the charm while trying to be a different series?
Master Bating
June 19, 2016 at 8:26 pmIts Vancouver and it was confirmed to be westernized.
There was never any hope.
Im sorry
Jack
June 19, 2016 at 8:26 pmAt least it’s TRYING
that’s more than i can say with some series now-a-days
No_Good_Names_Ever
June 19, 2016 at 8:29 pm….Wasn’t it always westernized or are you talking about being detriggered?
Jack
June 19, 2016 at 8:30 pmNo, 1 and 2 had eastern devs, 3 went to shit with the Vancouver studio, and now they’re making the same mistake with 4

June 19, 2016 at 8:31 pmCopying=/=Trying
I wonder who that westaboo Inafune would try to get them to cast as the main character if Capcom would want to go full Kojima and he was still with them.

Jack

June 20, 2016 at 1:33 amIt’s not outsourcing. Capcom owns Capcom Vancouver :p

June 20, 2016 at 2:09 amI’m sure it will do as well as Rise of the Tomb Raider…
Uncle Ocelot
June 20, 2016 at 2:10 amOh great… Dead Rising 3 again…
Uncle Ocelot
June 20, 2016 at 2:15 amWell we haven’t even seen the real game yet, supposedly it’ll have combat, puzzles, zombies, monsters and herbs like almost every other RE; it’s just first-person now so it could double as a VR game.

June 20, 2016 at 4:11 amLooks like a Warriors game.

June 20, 2016 at 7:35 ami loved the first dead rising but its strange they are going BACK to the same mall with the SAME character….either way i’ll wiat for the ultimate super ps4 edition.

June 20, 2016 at 9:15 amSo “timed Exclusive” means PS4 after a year?
ElKonsolero
June 20, 2016 at 10:33 amThe trailer looks a lot better than DR3. DR3 looked to gritty and dark when i especially liked DR2 because it felt lighthearted, colourful and fun. Devs also didn´t know what made DR DR in the first place because after the criticism of the first trailers of DR3 they said “look we still have humor in the game” and then showed the borat swimming thingy which is one of the lamest forms of humor ever.
Frank´s back so that´s a plus. I´m looking forward to seeing more of the game if it´s more like DR2 and Off the record again.

June 20, 2016 at 12:31 pmWorth noting that, according to other sites, it’s a timed exclusive to Windows Store on PC for only 90 days (so we’ll likely see a Steam release at that time).

June 22, 2016 at 2:06 pmGood, because I’m not buying anything on the Windows store and I sure as heck am not installing Windows 10.
