Dead Rising 2 Arriving August 31, Exclusive Prologue Headed To 360
Do you love massacring hordes of mindless zombies? Us too! Lucky for us, Capcom is going to feed our obsession once more this year. News out of Microsoft's X10 event is that Dead Rising 2 will launch in the U.S. on August 31, with a special downloadable prologue coming exclusively to the Xbox 360 earlier that month.
In addition to the North America date mentioned above, the game will launch on September 2 in Japan and September 3 in Europe.
Meanwhile, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, a downloadable prologue to the game, will apparently only be available via Xbox 360 and will link the first Dead Rising to the sequel in some way. It will consist of totally unique content not featured in Dead Rising 2.
Looks like there's more zombie-slaying to be done this fall. Are you with me?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
