Dead Rising: Is Capcom Developing a New Installment?
Frank goes to Hollywood
Dead Rising is a series that helped define the relationship between video games and zombies, showing the world how much fun a creative and splatter-filled approach to the undead threat can be. If you're among those who have enjoyed the games in this franchise, you'll probably be pleased to hear the latest rumor about it.
Details of the New Dead Rising
The information comes to us from the portal MP1ST, and we must specify that we do not have official confirmation, at least for now. Apparently, Capcom has been working on a new installment in the Dead Rising series since at least 2023, codenamed Rec. This episode will star a character beloved by Dead Rising fans, journalist Frank West, and will be set in Hollywood, within a large film studio that, as you can imagine, will be overrun by zombies.
In this location, a mad director will subject Frank and other survivors to deadly trials, with the aim of making his perfect film. The new Dead Rising is expected to bring back some well-known gameplay mechanics: photography, which will see Frank immortalizing the surrounding scenarios, and time, with a time limit and dangers that increase as the end approaches.
