In case you missed it, the first details for theDead Rising Deluxe Remasterwere shared during a recent Capcom Next showcase. Not only has the game seen quite the graphical overhaul while still retaining the core gameplay fans of the series love, but it’s out in just a couple of months on September 19. And if you’re willing to pay a bit extra, you can get a bunch of fun costumes for protagonist Frank West.
The base game is being sold for $49.99 / £39.99, and pre-orders come with three costumes from throughout theDead Risingseries. The best one is easily the Frank West 2006 costume, making Frank look how he did in the original game, which is perfect for nostalgic players or anyone who isn’t thrilled with his updated redesign. The other two are also fun additions; you have a costume based on Chuck Greene, the protagonist ofDead Rising 2, and the costume for the Willamette Parkview Mall Bee mascot. That last one will definitely make every cutscene far sillier. All three also come with additional background music you can play while running around the mall.
While those costumes are solid choices, it’s the Capcom themed costumes that have caught my eye, which are exclusive to theDead Rising Deluxe RemasterDigital Deluxe Edition (now that’s a mouthful). Capcom is keeping what they look like under wraps but, hilariously,the game’s listing on the Xbox storehas a full list of names for all 17 costumes, as well as the music tracks that come bundled with them. Here is the full list of costumes included with the Digital Deluxe Edition:
It’s a good line-up, and the thought of Frank running around in a Tron Bonne outfit is very amusing, though I’m surprised there isn’t a singleMonster Huntercostume given that franchise’s popularity. It also doesn’t feel as varied as the line-up of Capcom costumes you could unlock inDead Rising 4. That game had outfits fromDevil May Cry,Ghosts ‘n Goblins,Viewtiful Joe, and evenGhost Trick. Fortunately, the Digital Deluxe Edition isn’t that much more expensive than the base game, costing $59.99 / £49.99.
