THE DEAD WALK AGAIN AS CAPCOM CONFIRMS DEAD RISINGTM 2
Sequel to 1.5 million-plus seller announced for multiple gaming platforms

London – February 9, 2009 - Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer
and publisher of video games, today confirmed that Dead Rising™ 2 is in
development for three different gaming platforms: the Xbox 360™ video
game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Sony Computer
Entertainment’s PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) and the PC. The sequel to the 1.5
million-plus selling Dead Rising™, Dead Rising 2 will take the
franchise to a new level of zombie-killing fun with tens of thousands
of zombies, the all new gambling paradise of Fortune City to explore
and conquer plus a host of new in-game objects that can all be used as
deadly weapons to stave off the zombie assault.

Dead Rising 2 is set several years after the infamous zombie
invasion of Willamette. Unfortunately, the zombie virus was not
contained at the conclusion of Dead Rising, spreading unchecked
throughout the United States and Dead Rising 2 depicts a country where
zombie outbreaks continue to strike.

Dead Rising 2 is being developed in partnership with up and coming
Canadian developer Blue Castle Games. A number of members from the
original Dead Rising team will be working alongside Blue Castle Games
throughout the development process, including Capcom’s global head of
research and development, Keiji Inafune, who as the game’s Producer
will play an active role in the project.

Released in 2006, Dead Rising won praise across the globe for its
mix of intense zombie action and dark humour, garnering numerous awards
including IGN’s “Most Innovative Design for Xbox 360”, Gamespot’s “Best
Action-Adventure Game” for 2006 and “Action Game of the Year” at the
2006 Spike TV Video Game Awards.

Further details concerning the story and gameplay of Dead Rising 2 will be made available shortly.
