A New Dead Rising Could Be in Development
It has been several years since Capcom released a completely new game in the Dead Rising series, but a recent report suggests the studio may now be returning to the franchise. According to insider sources cited by multiple gaming outlets, the upcoming project is said to be a full reboot rather than a direct sequel.
Return of a Known Character
The report hints that a "familiar face" could make a comeback, sparking speculation that journalist and photo-savant Frank West might once again take center stage. Frank is widely regarded as the face of the series, having starred in the original 2006 game and several later entries.
Development Details and Direction
Current information indicates that the possible reboot is being developed using Capcom’s in-house RE Engine, the same technology behind Resident Evil Village and the recent Resident Evil 4 remake. This could allow for higher visual fidelity and modernized mechanics while retaining the franchise’s core identity of open-world zombie chaos and dark humor.
Community Reactions
Fans have responded to the rumors with a mix of excitement and caution. Some welcome the idea of revisiting Dead Rising with next-generation technology, while others hope Capcom will retain the franchise’s signature tone and quirky sense of realism rather than steering too far into action-heavy territory.
“The best Dead Rising games balanced absurdity with survival,” one player commented in an online forum discussion.
What Comes Next
Capcom has yet to confirm or deny the report, leaving the community waiting for an official reveal. If the information proves accurate, the new Dead Rising could mark a long-awaited return to one of the developer’s most beloved cult series.
Author summary: Rumors point to Capcom developing a new Dead Rising reboot, possibly featuring Frank West and powered by the RE Engine for modern visuals and renewed gameplay.
