After initially being delayed, Dead Rising 2, Capcom’s latest entry in their zombie killing franchise has been pushed forward for release later this year, from the initial release date of October 1st to September 24th in the EU, giving Irish players even more time to mutilate a constant stream of the undead.
That’s not all the Dead Rising 2 information that Capcom has been releasing as of late and those wanting to keep themselves entertained with tongue-in-cheek zombie action before the game’s release can check out Zombrex: Dead Rising Sun, a low budget live action web series from the game’s producer Keiji Iafune following the exploits of a band of survivors trying to survive both a zombie outbreak and each other.
And if that wasn’t enough to keep you busy before the game’s release players can also look forward to Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, an XBox Live downloadable prequel game set for release on September 3rd. Set three years before the events of Dead Rising 2, the game follows Chuck Green as he attempts to find a cure for his infected daughter. Not only will the game be a cheap 400 MS points but players will also be able to carry over all their experience and unlockables to the main game.
Dead Rising 2 is out September 24th on XBox 360 and Playstation 3.
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is released September 3rd on XBox 360.
