Capcom has officially confirmed the launch date for the physical edition of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. This announcement brings excitement to fans of the series, who have been eagerly awaiting the new and improved version. The game will be available on November 8th for Xbox Series X/S and PS5, with a retail price set at $49.99. Although players who opt for the physical edition won’t receive all the exclusive items included in the Digital Deluxe Edition, they will still benefit from pre-order bonuses.
Earlier reports indicated the physical edition was anticipated around late 2023, aligning closely with the newly announced release date. Capcom’s decision to offer the game at the same price point as the digital version ensures consistency across purchasing options. Historically, Capcom has included bonus content for early adopters, a trend which continues with the upcoming release.
Pre-Order Bonuses and Content
Those who pre-order the physical edition of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will receive a special costume set featuring three outfits and three background music tracks. These additions are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay. Fans of the franchise can still look forward to an enhanced experience, even without the additional content from the Digital Deluxe Edition that features outfits from other Capcom series like Resident Evil and Mega Man.
Enhanced Features and Visuals
The game, which leans more towards a remake, is built from the ground up on Capcom’s RE Engine. This results in overhauled visuals, supporting 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will debut digitally on September 19th for multiple platforms including Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch, before the physical release follows in November. Developers have included new features like uninterrupted calls during attacks, extensive voice acting, and enhanced photography options.
Comparatively, this remaster includes more significant updates than previous versions, focusing on delivering a more polished and contemporary experience for players. The inclusion of new photography features and full voice acting in nine languages showcases Capcom’s commitment to enhancing gameplay and accessibility.
As Capcom continues to innovate with their classic titles, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster’s impending release exemplifies their strategy of rejuvenating beloved franchises. By incorporating modern graphics and gameplay improvements, Capcom aims to attract both long-time fans and new players. This remaster could set a precedent for future remakes and remasters within their portfolio.
