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?
