Despite the rumors o.a Dead Rising reboot first appeared in 2023, but so far little has come of them. Many assumed it Dead Rising was dead and buried, but Capcom as a publisher has never been afraid to revisit popular franchises and bring them back to life after long hiatuses. 12 years difference between them Dragon Dogma and its 2024 sequel is just one recent example of this, and considering how successful Dead Rising Once that was the case, it wouldn't be a surprise if Capcom gave it another shot.

Dead Rising could be heading to Hollywood
According to a new report from MP1st new Dead Rising The game is currently being worked on by Capcom. This is not a remaster or remake like last year, but a completely new main line of the game Dead Rising 1 and 4 protagonist Frank West. The report claims that the game is codenamed Rec and may be a direct sequel to the first game in the series. How does it connect to Dead Rising 4 is unknown. MP1st also says that Frank's return brings with it his iconic photography camera, which is currently a series staple.
The good news is that Frank will have plenty to take pictures of, as the MP1st report claims the news Dead Rising the game will take place in Hollywood. More specifically, the closed plot of a film studio where an “extravagant and deranged film director” forces the main character to participate in rehearsals, which will help the director in making the film. If correct, the report suggests that the title will make great use of its Hollywood setting Dead Rising survivors appearing as actors hiding after a zombie outbreak. The survivor rescue mechanic is another Dead Rising basic so good to hear there are plans to return here.
Overall, the game seems well positioned to embrace the series' identity. MP1st also believes this Dead Rising Psychopaths will return as “minions sent by the director.” An interesting detail that the report pointed out is that at the beginning of the game, Frank saves one of the director's key minions, who is then “tasked with filming everything while wearing a bomb strapped to his body.” Dead Rising it doesn't need to reinvent the wheel to succeed. Longtime fans of the series simply want more of the crazy tone set by the earlier games, and if Capcom can deliver that, then it's an exciting prospect. However, fans should not expect anything new Dead Rising release soon – MP1st describes it as “still a long way off.”
Assuming the Hollywood movie setting is correct, it would be consistent with the show's history. The first game took place in Dawn of the Deadmall in style, while the sequel featured a similar setting. However, Dead Rising 3 and 4 he took a much more open approach which was massively unpopular with fans. The idea of a closed film set really sounds like a return to the roots of a series of smaller spaces with more detail. This would also allow a return Dead RisingThe core time limit mechanic that MP1st claims this upcoming game plans to feature.
