Xbox 360 classic Dead Rising is getting a fresh look in new remaster

It’s been 18 years since we were first introduced to Frank West’s antics on Xbox 360 for the Dead Rising (Xbox 360) achievements, and while we’ve had a HD remaster in the years since, it appears Capcom isn’t done with the game just yet. The publisher has announced Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster for current-gen platforms, and we can’t wait to dive back into what is still one of the Xbox zombie games.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster announced with teaser trailer

Capcom has proven time and time again that its teams are masters at remasters and remakes, offering us some incredible refreshed experiences with the likes of Resident Evil and Ace Attorney. Now it appears that the company is ready to get its other zombie franchise, Dead Rising, back into the limelight.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster has been announced seemingly out of nowhere with a teaser trailer, offering us a brief glimpse at the upcoming game. Not much has been revealed just yet, but a post from the Dead Rising X account says, “Hello? Is this thing on? This is Frank! Frank West! Is anyone out there? Grab your camera and prepare for the big scoop on Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. Stay tuned for more info soon!”

According to the trailer, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is “coming to the newest generation of platforms,” which we would assume means Xbox Series X|S will be included, as we’ve seen previous iterations come to the console. The “brand new look” promised in this version is already evident in that trailer, while looking at Frank West, the character model has been updated to somewhat resemble the Frank of Dead Rising 4.

After hearing that Marvel Vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics will skip Xbox, it’s great to see another Capcom remaster find its way to Xbox.
