There’s no doubt that the announcement ofDead Rising Deluxe Remasteris the best news that the series has received in quite a long time. The franchise’s momentum came to a halt after the debut ofDead Rising 4.
Fortunately, with the upcoming remaster, there’s a chance for the series to make a triumphant return. Considering how well the franchise’s earlier instalments did, it’s quite a valid strategy for a comeback. However, many fans fear thatDead Rising Deluxe Remastermight not be the remake everyone had been hoping for as it could be too“woke”.
Gamers Raise Concerns About Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster

However, a small number of fans believe that Capcom should leave all elements of the original title intact. They’re pretty disappointed to see that Capcom is trying to appease the so-called“modern crowd”and removing features that could prove to be offensive to certain players inDead Rising Deluxe Remaster.
I was excited for it, but then I heard it was updated for “modern audiences.” Pass.
Although it’s sad to see thatCapcom is getting rid of some features, it’s crucial to keep in mind that the gaming landscape is quite different from what it was back in the day.
The inclusion of“woke changes”in theDead Rising Remastercould comprise the creative vision of game developers, but there’s a strong reason behind such an inclusion.
Modern games tend to reflect the diverse world today’s gamers live in. Addressing issues, which could be cultural misrepresentation and stereotypes, helps avoid harmful biases and promotes a more respectful portrayal of in-game characters.
We’ve seen how games that incorporate diverse perspectives and deal with social issues can easily engage players more deeply and bring in even new audiences who would’ve never played the game.
Let’s hope Capcom finds a way to balance the inclusion of new changes while not letting the old players feel left out.
Politics Aside, When Is Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Coming Out?
As revealed during Capcom Next’s digital showcase,Dead Rising Deluxe Remasterwill debut digitallyon September 18th, 2024, for PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. We can expect to see a physical copy arrive sometime later in November 2024.

With many players consideringDead Risingas one of the most phenomenal franchises, bringing it to the modern consoles with a brand new look and improved mechanics will truly allow it to capture a new generation of gamers.
