Capcom held a “Save the Zombie” event in Tokyo today to promoteDead Rising 2. In addition to a screening of the upcoming, B-movie film based on the games — complete with exclusive alternate ending which will only be available as a DVD special feature — new information regarding the Xbox 360-exclusive downloadable titleDead Rising 2: Case Zero.
Set three years before the events ofDead Rising 2,Case Zerofeatures Chuck Greene and his daughter trapped in Fortune City with 12 hours to find some Zombrex before the little girl turns. Inafune revealed thatCase Zero‘s save data will be carried over intoDead Rising 2,allowing you to keep any experience rewards earned.
Case Zerostill doesn’t have a release date, but it shouldn’t be long now. Inafune expects it to release in Japan a month beforeDead Rising 2but he would not pin down anything more specific. Since it’s acting as theDead Rising 2demo, you will be able to play a portion ofCase Zerofor free but have to cough up some cash to finish the job.
I’m down, especially if it means carrying stats over. Hell, I would have bought this anyway but it’s nice to know that I can get a head start on being a badass that fears no zombie.
