It seems that the remastered "Dead Rising" titles will be release soon as the first screenshots of the game make their way online.
The new images have gone live on the Xbox Store, and it is revealed that the original "Dead Rising," "Dead Rising 2," and "Dead Rising 2: Off the Record" will be getting their remastered versions. However, release dates remain TBA for the three overhauled titles, although rumors point to Sept.13 release. The new versions will also be releasedd for the PC and PS4.
Observers have noted that as remastered versions, they boost significant changes over the original games. Publisher Capcom has also divided the work for the three remastered titles to make sure that the compendium will make it before the expected release of "Dead Rising 4" in December.

Meanwhile, as work on the remastered versions of the "Dead Rising" franchise continues, the progress is also steady on the upcoming sequel "Dead Rising 4." A new trailer showcasing gameplay, new enemies, and weapons have been published. The video footage reveals that main protagonist Frank West will go back to the original "Dead Rising" setting in Willamette. However, the location has been upgraded to include new areas in the city such as newly-opened sewers and underground tunnels.
"Dead Rising 4" launches for Windows PC and Xbox One on Dec. 6.
