Capcom has surprised fans by announcing the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, a remake of the original 2006 zombie survival game. The remaster aims to bring the classic title to modern platforms with vastly improved visuals while staying true to the beloved story and gameplay.

The Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will feature protagonist Frank West, a photojournalist who finds himself trapped in a zombie-infested mall in Willamette, Colorado. Players will once again have 72 hours to find a cure while fending off hordes of the undead using whatever they can find in the mall.

The upcoming remaster of the game is a significant update compared to the 2016 HD remake, reminiscent of Capcom's recent Resident Evil remakes. The teaser trailer reveals Frank's new look and voice actor. This remaster pays tribute to the original game while possibly introducing new content and features. Fans are eagerly anticipating how this refresh will enhance the classic survival horror experience for a new generation of players.

The Dead Rising series has been inactive since Dead Rising 4 in 2017. Many fans believe the first two games are the best in the franchise. The announcement of the remaster suggests that Capcom is not finished with the zombie series and may be considering a new sequel.

With Capcom's proven track record in remasters and remakes, the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is poised to be a must-play for both longtime fans and newcomers to the series. As more details emerge, the gaming community eagerly awaits the return of Frank West and the chance to experience the iconic zombie survival gameplay on modern platforms.
