Summary
Capcom has released a survey forDead Risingfans following the release ofDead Rising Deluxe Remasteron July 28, 2025. The survey includes questions regarding how fans came across the remaster and what they enjoyed most about it, also opening the possibility of the company remastering later games in theDead Risingseries.
Dead Risingis a series that many fans believed had been abandoned, especially afterDead Rising 4’s turbulent launch in 2016,which was followed by Capcom Vancouver being shut down.Dead Rising Deluxe Remasterhas changed this sentiment, and after the successful launch of the game, many fans are hoping that the franchise is here to stay. It seems Capcom is aware of this too, as it has recently polledDead Risingfans regarding interest in remastering later entries in the franchise. Players have swiftly taken this opportunity to express interest in a remaster forDead Rising 2.
As reported by TheGamer, fans ofDead Rising 2are taking to Reddit to rally support and unify their voices for a remaster. Released in 2010,Dead Rising 2follows the story of a new protagonist in the fictional locale of Fortune City, a Las Vegas-inspired city facing a zombie infestation. Capcom has already told fans thatit hopes to expand theDead RisingIPpast the launch ofDead Rising Deluxe Remaster, and this survey seems to suggest that Capcom is interested in knowing what fans want out of the series before it starts to make any major moves.
Having spent the past five years remaking the famedResident Evilfranchise, it looks like Capcom may be turning its sights to something new. TheResident Evilremakes rebuilt the games from the ground up, and whileDead Rising Deluxe Remasterdoesn’t deviate too hard from the source material, the blatant interest that Capcom has now placed in the franchise coupled with a small handful of minor changes to the storysuggests that the world ofDead Risingis getting a soft reboot. If this is the plan, a deluxe remaster forDead Rising 2is an ambitious but logical next step, given that many fans have said that combiningDead Rising 2with all of its DLC and expansion packs would make the remaster an instant buy for them.
While theDead Risingfranchise has taken several unexpected turns over the past 18 years, earlier games in the series are still beloved by many to this day. None of the later entries seemed togarner the same love as the first twoDead Risinggames, and if Capcom means to spend more time with the franchise going forward, a remaster of a beloved classic seems like a great way to start.
