Capcom is planning for Dead Rising’s<\/a> future. In its latest earnings report<\/a>, the Japanese games company said it plans to nuture a handful of franchises for growth, with one of them being Dead Rising.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Dead Rising is mentioned alongside the likes of Devil May Cry, Dragon’s Dogma, and Okami. But what does this mean? Capcom mentions, generally, this “nurturing” of “leading brands” includes ports, remakes, and even sequels. But it’s the mention of Dead Rising in all this that has sparked most debate.<\/p>\n

Dead Rising 1 and 2 are respected survival horror games, and the third game received a decent reception as a launch title for Xbox One. However, 2016’s Dead Rising 4 received mixed reviews from critics, and we haven’t seen a new mainline sequel since.<\/p>\n

The series returned with a well-received remake of the original Dead Rising<\/a> in 2024, sparking hope that either a Dead Rising 2 remake or Dead Rising 5 will follow. However, some fans feel like the series has failed to capture audiences or make enough of an impression to be worthy of continuing. <\/p>\n

“Dead Rising? Seriously? The franchise should stay dead after how much of a disaster Dead Rising 4 was,” said one fan<\/a>. However, some are championing its return and are hoping that Dead Rising 5 will come to fruition. “We used to pray for times like this,” said another<\/a>.<\/p>\n
