More Dead Rising, Street Fighter and much more coming…
London, UK â April 12 , 2011 â CapcomÂŽ, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today officially announced three new titles, Dragonâs Dogma, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record and Super Street FighterÂŽ IV Arcade Edition in development. These titles were first revealed, along with details of the companyâs 2011/2012 game lineup, at its annual media showcase event, Captivate, which took place in Miami last week.
From the creators behind some of Capcomâs best action games, including the critically acclaimed Resident Evil⢠4 and Devil May Cry⢠4, comes their next opus, Dragonâs Dogma. Set in a huge open world, Dragonâs Dogma is a unique action experience that blends exciting and fulfilling combat with the freedom to explore and interact in a rich, living and breathing world. With your party of three you set out on an epic adventure to track down and destroy a mysterious dragon. Along the way youâll encounter some of the biggest and baddest beasts ever to roam the land, and only skilful play and tactical teamwork can save the day.
Utilizing an enhanced version of Capcomâs proprietary MT Framework⢠engine that delivered the groundbreaking graphical styles and lighting effects used in Resident Evil⢠5 and Lost Planet⢠2, Dragonâs Dogma expands the environment to create a vast, richly detailed world, ripe for exploration. Dragonâs Dogma will deliver a whole new world of action to PlayStationÂŽ3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360ÂŽ video game and entertainment system from MicrosoftÂŽ in 2012.
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record, sees Wilamette survivor and hero of Dead Risingâ˘, photojournalist Frank West, take centre stage as players experience a very different interpretation of events in this, a reimagining of the Fortune City outbreak. Forget what took place in Dead RisingÂŽ 2, this is Frankâs story told as only he can.
This alternate storyline means an all new Dead Rising 2 experience; with Frank facing new missions, new enemies, new combo-weapons with which to defeat them plus a brand new Fortune City attraction to explore. Complimenting the new narrative and action of Dead Rising 2: Off The Record are enhancements to elements such as the save system and the co-op experience to deliver more satisfying gameplay. Dead Rising 2: Off The Record is scheduled for release on PS3â˘, Xbox 360 and WindowsÂŽ PCs this autumn.
Adding new characters, an all new balancing update as well as an enhanced Replay Channel, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition will deliver the definitive version of Street Fighter⢠when it releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows PCs this summer. More specifically, the add-on version of Arcade Edition will be available as a downloadable upgrade for existing Super Street Fighter⢠IV owners on June 7 for 1200 MS Points or âŹ14.99, with a full console retail product following on June 24 in Europe and June 28 in North America, respectively, and a PC version in July.
Captivate attendees were able to experience some of Capcomâs future hits for the first time, with playable versions of recently announced squad-based shooter Resident Evilâ˘: Operation Raccoon City, the fighting genreâs dream match-up Street Fighter⢠X Tekken and hard-hitting action title Asuraâs Wrath⢠all debuting at the event alongside Dragonâs Dogma, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition. Media were also able to join forces in the war on horror with the first showing of Resident Evilâ˘: The Mercenaries 3Dâs co-op mode.
