Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster: Release Date, and What to Expect (Xbox X|S, PS5 & PC)

Craving a return to Willamette Parkview Mall? Look no further! Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster has a release date, and it’s arriving sooner than you might think.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Release Date

Mark your calendars! Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster shambles out of the development lab on September 18, 2024. It will be available digitally on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC (Steam). Fans of physical media will have to wait a bit longer, with a physical release slated for November 2024.

More Than a Remaster

While it carries the “remaster” moniker, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster seems to be venturing closer to remake territory. Capcom has implemented the RE Engine, bringing the game into the modern era with stunning 4K visuals and a buttery smooth 60fps frame rate.

But the improvements go beyond just aesthetics. Expect reworked controls, including the ability for protagonist Frank West to move while aiming – a welcome change for longtime fans. Fully voiced NPCs also add a new layer of immersion to the experience.

While Capcom hasn’t mentioned any major story revisions, they have promised improvements to the infamous escort missions, which were a source of frustration for some players in the original. The developers have also hinted at additional content, but details remain under wraps for now.

Fully Voiced and Packed with Content

Gone are the days of silent protagonists! Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster features fully voiced NPCs, adding a new layer of immersion to the game. Pre-order bonuses include additional costumes and mall background music, though some fans are hoping for potential new content like expanded storylines or deeper character interactions.

With its September release date looming, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is sure to reignite the love for this beloved zombie franchise. So, dust off your light meter and prepare to wade through a sea of undead flesh come September!
