Frank West is back. Capcom has announced Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, a new version of the zombie survival game that will come to current platforms with significantly improved graphics. For laymen, Dead Rising (2006) is a highly valued title and an example of the efforts that Microsoft made at the time to attract Japanese companies to Xbox. Games like Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and installments of Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden also arrived at that time.

Capcom has barely offered details about Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. We do not know exactly what graphical treatment it will receive, if there are changes to the gameplay, when it will be available and on what platforms it will go on sale. At least the company has launched a first teaser trailer that allows us to take a look at the renewed graphic appearance, which seems to be closer to the remake than the remaster. This is the second time Capcom has brought back the first Dead Rising after the high-definition version released in 2016.

What we see in the teaser trailer is the introduction of Dead Rising. The footage shows us photojournalist Frank West, a freelancer who doesn’t make a living waiting for things to appear on TV, so when he receives a tip about an incident in a small town he decides to travel there by helicopter. The journey does not end too well and our hero ends up in a shopping center infested with zombies, but before the incident Frank has time to remind the pilot of his name and tell him that in three days he will be famous.

Dead Rising was developed by Capcom under the production of Keiji Inafune, creator of Onimusha and designer of Megaman. The next three numbered installments were the work of Blue Castle Games, a studio that Capcom would end. purchasing in 2010 and closing in 2018. Dead Rising 2 stars Chuck Greene and takes place in a shopping complex in Fortune City, Dead Rising 3 travels 15 years after the original outbreak and introduces us to Nick Ramos in his attempt to survive in The lost. Finally we have Dead Rising 4, which brought back Frank West and the Willamette setting.
