Dead Rising 4 is an upcoming open world survival horror beat 'em up video game developed by Capcom Vancouver and published by Microsoft Studios for Microsoft Windows and Xbox One.[4][5] It was announced at Microsoft's E3 2016 press conference on June 13, 2016. It features the return of Frank West, and is set in a Christmas-themed Willamette, Colorado. The game is scheduled to be released worldwide on December 6, 2016.[6]

Gameplay

The player reassumes the role of photojournalist Frank West,[7] who has returned to Willamette, Colorado during the Christmas season, which has been overwhelmed by another zombie outbreak.

Unlike its predecessors, the game will not feature a timer system and story co-op gameplay.[8]

As with the other games in the series, the game will feature an open world setting.[4][9][10]

Development

In January 2016, Capcom Vancouver announced that it was working on two new open world projects.[11] The game was announced at the 2016 Microsoft E3 conference with a trailer and 12 minutes of gameplay.

Terence J. Rotolo will not be returning to voice Frank West, with a Dead Rising asset manager saying that "We wanted to work with someone to provide a more grizzled, older take on Frank at this stage."[12]

Release

The game is scheduled to be released worldwide on December 6, 2016.[13] Microsoft also confirmed that the game is a timed-exclusive on Windows 10 for 90 days and a year on Xbox One.[4]
