According to communications specialist Chris Kramer, Capcom is planning to release Lost Planet 2 and Dead Rising 2 sometime next year. Kramer revealed this news on Major Nelson’s latest podcast, claiming that Capcom has "big titles for next year, Lost Planet 2 and Dead Rising 2." Unfortunately, he doesn’t go on to specify whether "next year" qualifies as the next fiscal year — which starts April 1 — or if he means 2010.
Hopefully, Capcom has plans to release the titles sometime in the next fiscal year, as that could result in much earlier release dates. The publisher has been making big splashes in 2009 as is though, with big releases such as Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5 already on the books, while looking ahead to other big name titles such as Dark Void and Bionic Commando. As it stands, 2009 may just end up as the Year of Capcom.
