Dead Rising 4 marks the return of photojournalist Frank West in an all-new chapter of the zombie game franchises.

All of the classic hallmarks of the ground breaking series return, including a huge array of weapons and vehicles players can combine to combat the horde ranging from the practical – to the practically insane. Players will also enjoy ambitious new features including new zombie classes, EXO Suits, and 4-player co-op multiplayer. With intense action and an unmatched level of weapon and character customization, Dead Rising 4 delivers a heart-pounding experience as players explore, scavenge and fight to survive in an epic open world sandbox.

Smash and bash your way through the zombie mayhem while wearing these exclusively skinned X-Fists, a combo weapon for the Exo Suit. Get ready to deliver a mighty thump.

To offer current players further engagement with Frank’s world, I’m excited today to announce that we’re introducing two new game difficulty modes and releasing a Street Fighter outfit pack, both free to all players. This is accompanied by a patch fixing several bugs we’ve been tracking since launch.

To attract new players to Dead Rising 4, we are also releasing a one hour timed trial.

The mayhem continues with two all-new difficulty modes

Frank will need to be a lot more careful and aware of his surroundings when trying to survive on a higher difficulty. Enemies do more damage; Frank’s weapons break faster and food restores less health than before. Keep your eyes peeled, watch your back, and don’t forget to scrounge for every weapon –  you are going to need them.

The new difficulty modes will be available to players on Jan 30.

Play for Free with Limited Timed Trial

For those that have yet to face the horde in Dead Rising 4, we’re excited to announce the availability of a 60-minute timed trial experience for Xbox One. The trial will allow new players to earn achievements and carry saved game progress into the full game should they decide to purchase at the end of the trial period.  Players can experience both single player Story Mode as well as Multiplayer during the trial period.

The timed trial experience will be available beginning Jan 31.
