While there were leaks late last week suggesting that Dead Rising 4 was real, and there was speculation that it was actually a remake of the original, it was confirmed at Microsoft’s conference that Dead Rising 4 does exist and it will not be a remake. It will introduce a new game, but bring back the original protagonist, Frank West. We saw closed quarters combat, open streets, cybernetic armour, flamethrowers, and all to a catchy Christmas tune playing in the background.

Dead Rising 4 was given a vague “Holidays 2016” release date after the trailer, and not much specific information about the plot was given, but we will certainly keep you updated on more information as it becomes available.
