Dead Rising 2 slated for a August 31st Release.

(From Destructoid)


If all parties involved continue to play nice and hit their respective milestones, it appears as if we'll be mowing zombies in Dead Rising 2 particularly soon. Word from Major Nelson via his oh-so-informative "10 things you need to know from X10" piece advises us that Capcom is set to release the next iteration in the DR franchise on August 31 across North America.

We're not sure if that date is for all three expected versions of the title, but Xbox 360 owners will be privy to an exclusive of sorts in the form of a download called "Dead Rising: CASE ZERO." According to Nelson, this "playable prologue" bridges "the story between the two titles." Neat. This is exactly what the RoboCop 3 needed -- that jump from Tom Noonan to samurai robots and rocket packs was a doozy.

[Update: Capcom's official community site gives us just a sprinkle of information, specifically that "CASE ZERO" will "introduce former motocross champion Chuck Greene," the protagonist of Dead Rising 2.]

I think the release date is old news, but thats awsome to know that we are getting exclusive content. Its surprising to see that its going to the ps3 though, since it was an exclusive to the 360.


Cant wait for this.

IN CASE YOU DIDNT KNOW when I went to get MW2 early gamestop said I hadda preorder a game so I just said Dead Rising 2, and he said Aug. This was when the release date was Q1 2010, so Gamestop has the inside info.

BUT STILL is the CASE ZERO dlc for Dead Rising 2? Then again Capcom does like to announce DLC before the games release... I just hope Capcom will add co-op campaign or free room kidna thing, but then again they are lazy.

DR Sequel and DLC? Finally, a game I'm excited for, but I'm with Knoxville. Is it a DLC for Dead Rising or Dead Rising 2? It'd be sorta weird reviving an old game like that..
