Dead Rising 2

Dead Rising 2 is an upcoming sequel to the popular Xbox 360 game Dead Rising.

On 9 February 2009, Capcom officially confirmed that Dead Rising 2 is in development for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC gaming platforms. It will be developed by Blue Castle Games, a Canadian games company. It will be set in a Las Vegas-like setting called Fortune City, apparently one of many places in America to have fallen to the zombie disease. A great deal of new weapons and items are to be included, and the potential onscreen zombie count is set to be dramatically increased to as high as 7000, at least ten times that of the original.

The new protagonist of Dead Rising 2 has been officially named by Capcom as Chuck Greene. Frank West's presence in the game has not been confirmed or denied as of yet, but what some fans believe to be subtle evidence in the viral trailer for the game as well as the ending messages that state that Frank did manage to escape Willamette at the end of the first game indicate that he may appear.

Multiplayer
Dead Rising 2 includes both two player Co-Op and a more traditional four player multiplayer mode.

Terror is Reality
Dead Rising 2 is set to include a multiplayer mode in which four players compete in various challenges.

Co-Op
Asides from the more traditional four player mode, the game features a two player Co-Op mode. Two players will be able to take control of two different Chuck Greenes and complete the story mode together. Getting level ups WILL be integrated, and will be saved for BOTH players. If they find a combo card that player will keep it, regardless of host status. Money will also be saved for both players. During story progression only the host will keep story progress.
