Capcom has announced that zombie sequel Dead Rising 2 will be released in Japan this calendar year.
As it stands this is the first we’ve heard anything on the game’s release date since its unveiling last March, with Capcom previously refusing to commit to a specific launch window.
Hopefully this bodes well for a western launch, as recent big hitters in the publisher’s line-up have made the transition to North America and Europe mere weeks (or days, in the case of Resident Evil 5) after launching in Japan.
Elsewhere, the firm also revealed that it plans to release a live action movie based on the franchise, titled “Zombrex: Dead Rising Sun.” Sounds undead delicious to us.
Stay tuned for more info on Dead Rising 2 in the coming months.
