Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will be available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Players can pre-purchase the game through Steam, the PlayStation Store, and the Microsoft Store1. The game is set to release on September 19.
The main character in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is Frank West, a photojournalist who investigates a massive zombie outbreak in a small-town mall. The game, a remaster of the original 2006 Dead Rising, preserves the core identity of the character, including his animations and missions2. Players can expect to play as this iconic character when the game releases on September 19, 2024.
The controversy surrounding the new Frank West model in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is primarily about his redesigned appearance and change of voice actor. Fans have expressed disappointment with the new look and voice, prompting Capcom to offer the option to revert to the original character design as a pre-order bonus. Some fans are unhappy that this classic skin is locked behind a pre-order, wanting it to be available to all players without additional cost.
