Capcom’s new video shows the quality of life improvements to playing the modern version over the original, and we also find out when you can buy the disc edition.

Brought to life with Capcom’s RE Engine, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is the definitive remaster of the classic 2006 Dead Rising game, featuring enhanced graphics at 4K resolution and a 60 frames per second frame rate. Zombie hunters can experience a fresh take on the zombie genre with incredible action, over-the-top combat, hordes of weapon choices, eccentric costumes, and a comedic yet gripping storyline.

Quality of Life enhancements include the ability to perform certain actions while talking on the transceiver and uninterrupted calls, even when under attack. Various photo filters such as black and white, sepia, vintage, pixel art and more have been added to the game’s photo feature, allowing players to flex their creative muscles as the best zombie-hunting photojournalist in the business. Take a closer look at some of the returning fan-favorite characters like the militaristic Brad Garrison, the new Department of Homeland Security agent Jessie McCarney, and the tight-lipped Russell Barnaby, as well as some of the lovable psychopaths like the Convicts, Steven Chapman, and Larry Chiang!

The release date for Dead Rising Digital Deluxe Remaster is split into two parts. The first time it will be available digitally only, with the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store and Steam launching on September 19th. The store version will only be available for consoles, leaving PC players out in the cold once again. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series will get the Blu-ray version on November 8th (Capcom has only said it’s coming in November).

Capcom’s goal with this remaster is clear. Dead Rising 5 was canceled (and Capcom Vancouver closed in September 2018), and since then the franchise hasn’t been much of a focus for the Japanese company. If the remaster sells well, a new installment could be on the way. If not, that will be it.
