When Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster releases later this year , fans will have to play as a new, different-looking Frank West. This “improved” version of the character hasn’t been well received online, so it’s nice to hear that Capcom is offering a different model based on the OG Frank West in the remaster. However, there’s a catch.
The original Dead Rising was released in 2006 on Xbox 360 and later ported to other platforms. The game stars Frank West, a photojournalist who has covered wars before, and his investigation of a massive zombie outbreak in and around a small-town mall. In June, Capcom surprised fans with an announcement that it was remastering the original game.
But that first teaser featured a new look and voice for Frank West. Fans weren’t happy about it. And Capcom, who probably predicted such a reaction, has an offer for those fans: Pre-order the game to get classic Frank.
As spotted by IGN , Capcom is now taking pre-orders for Dead Rising on its official website . And as you might expect from a AAA video game publisher in 2024, pre-ordering Dead Rising comes with some bonuses. One of those perks is a skin for Frank West that turns him back into his more pudgy and younger-looking self as seen in the original 2006 version of Dead Rising .
Time to chuck out those dirty clothes and “bee” yourself with some bonus outfits and matching mall music! Pre-order #DRDR for the Dead Rising Original Pack: 🏍️Chuck Greene 📷Frank West 2006 🐝Willamette Pa.
