Report: New Mainline Dead Rising With Frank West Set on a Hollywood Backlot

MP1st’s unconfirmed scoop describes an early-stage Capcom project codenamed “Rec” with no announced release window.

Overview

  • MP1st reports the game has been in development since at least 2023 under the codename “Rec.”
  • The sequel is said to bring back Frank West and may slot in after the original Dead Rising, though that placement is not confirmed.
  • The reported setting is a large, enclosed movie studio lot in Hollywood where a deranged director orchestrates deadly set-piece “productions.”
  • Core series elements are allegedly returning, including Frank’s camera and a strict time-limit system, with survivor-rescue features hinted but unconfirmed.
  • Capcom has not announced the project, and outlets including XboxEra, Push Square, Wccftech, and Eurogamer are echoing MP1st’s claims, with estimates suggesting a release is still years away.
