CAPCOM might actually be cooking up a new Dead Rising game after letting the series collect dust since 2016. Sources claim the project kicked off around 2023 under the codename Rec, and Frank West is supposedly back as the main character for what sounds like a sequel set between the first and second games.
The leaked details point to a Hollywood film studio as the setting where some unhinged director forces Frank and other survivors through twisted movie-making challenges. Time limits are coming back after getting dropped from Dead Rising 4, with the director threatening to detonate the whole lot if people refuse to play along. The villain apparently sends psychopaths after Frank, and one of them is a dude Frank previously rescued who now has a bomb strapped to his chest while filming everything.
CAPCOM Vancouver got shut down back in 2018 after Dead Rising 4 flopped sales-wise, and the studio burned through roughly $40 million on canceled projects. The Deluxe Remaster did well enough to maybe convince the publisher to give the franchise another shot, but fans are probably looking at a multi-year wait before release.
