Dead Rising 4 is an open world survival horror beat 'em up video game developed by Capcom Vancouver and published by Microsoft Studios for Microsoft Windows and Xbox One.[2][3] 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 was released worldwide on December 6, 2016.[4]

Gameplay

The player reassumes the role of photojournalist Frank West,[5] 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[6] or story co-op gameplay.[7]

As with the other games in the series, the game will feature an open world setting.[2][8][9]

Development

In January 2016, Capcom Vancouver announced that it was working on two new open world projects.[10] 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 Dead Rising asset manager Trant Lee-Aimes stating, "We wanted to work with someone to provide a more grizzled, older take on Frank at this stage."[11] This change proved controversial among some fans, leading them to petition the developer to restore Rotolo as West.[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.[2]

Reception

Dead Rising 4 received "favorable" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[14]
