Capcom has announced that the upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive Dead Rising 2 stand-alone prequel, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, will arrive in Xbox Live next month.
Serving as the gap between the first Dead Rising and its upcoming sequel, the downloadable title will introduce gamers to the series' new protagonist, Chuck Greene and will provide a glimpse of the action to come before Dead Rising 2 arrives on September 28th. According to Keiji Inafune, Capcom’s Head of R&D Management Group and Executive Producer for Dead Rising 2:
“With Dead Rising 2: Case Zero we had two goals: provide newcomers with an easy point of entry to the Dead Rising universe, and give fans of the series an insight into what took place after Frank West survived the outbreak at the Willamette Mall. We have certainly achieved both of these ambitions but I am equally pleased that we are able to give gamers so much unique and entertaining content at such a great price.”
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero will be available on August 31 for 400 Microsoft Points (US$ 5).
