Capcom wanted to brag to us this morning that their zombie extravaganzaDead Rising 2has exceeded two million units shipped. That, apparently, sets the franchise’s total number of copies pushed into the neighborhood of four million. Considering that those numbers includeDead Rising: Chop ‘Till You Drop, I’d say there is a lot to be proud of.
As an additional footnote to their little pep rally, Capcom has announced that Canadian authorities have ratified the publisher’s acquisition ofDead Rising 2developer Blue Castle Games. The company will henceforth be a wholly-owned subsidiary known as Capcom Game Studio Vancouver.
Good for Capcom. I was a big fan ofDead Rising 2and I’m happy to see that sales of the game are reflective of my excellent judgment. Hopefully they’ll keep up the good work.
