Capcom has released a Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster demo, giving fans of the series a chance at trying the upgraded remaster.
The new playable demo for the game is now available for PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S (via the Microsoft Store), and PS5 (via the PlayStation Store).
It’s worth noting the demo will let you play from the start of the game but it won’t let you transfer save data from the demo into the full version.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster was released back in September 2024 for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. Get our review here!
Here’s a rundown on the new remaster, plus the new trailer:
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is the definitive remaster of the classic Dead Rising game from 2006 that delivered a fresh take on the zombie genre with incredible action, over-the-top combat, hordes of weapon choices , wacky costumes (trust us, they’re even wackier this time around), and a comedic yet compelling storyline.
If you’ve been living under a rock or have been trapped in a shopping mall the last 18 years, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster introduces freelance photojournalist Frank West as he ventures to Willamette, Colorado after overhearing there is something unnatural going on in town. Frank soon finds out he is in the middle of a zombie takeover and has 72 hours to uncover the truth about this outbreak!
There are a bunch of new features and gameplay improvements in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster that will have both veterans and newcomers falling in love with the game (again), including:
