Dead Rising 2: Off the Record

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is a reimagining of Dead Rising 2 with Frank West as the protagonist. It will be a full retail release and is scheduled to release Fall 2011 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Like Dead Rising 2, the game is set in Fortune City, and will include a new area that is "not a casino and not a mall."

Story
The entire game is a "What If?" scenero where Frank West covered the Fortune City outbreak, instead of Chuck Greene.

After surviving the outbreak that occurred in Dead Rising, Frank West quickly became a bit of a celebrity. After authoring a successful book, he is given his own talk show, but soon wastes his oppurtunities and money as his fifteen minutes of fame expire. In hopes to regain a place in the spotlight, he accepts an offer from Tyrone King to appear as a special guest on Terror is Reality.

At the beginning of the event, West, wearing a wrestling outfit, is lifted via platform to the center of a ring surrounded by a chain-link fence. Joining him in the ring is a group of zombies in which he must defeat as many as possible within a certain time limit. Upon winning the event, West feels that he has lost his dignity and decides to take his prize money and get out of town. As he is leaving, he overhears TK and a Brandon Whittaker discussing plans. With his trusty camera around his neck, West watches from a nearby scaffolding as men exchange mysterious packages.

When West is caught eavesdropping, the men attack him. He fights them off, but soon the zombies get loose, beginning the infection of Fortune City and forcing West to once again fight for his life.
