Rumor: Dead Rising 3 Set In California, Stars Auto Mechanic
Word on the street is that the follow up to Dead Rising 2 will be set in California, star a mechanic, and involve escaping the doomed city on a cobbled-together plane.
The auto mechanic’s name is Rick, and it sounds like he’s a little less confident in his zombie-slaying abilities right off the bat compared to Chuck and Frank. The city of Los Perdidos, California is set to be cleared out by a huge bomb, and Rick plans to escape on a plane. Featuring a goal that sounds similar to Dead Rising 2: Case 0’s motorcycle building, Rick must gather pieces to build a plane.
Siliconera also reports that Dead Rising 3 will touch on themes of illegal immigration. A leader named Red leads a band of infected illegals through the chaos-stricken city. Red’s girlfriend Annie, a defender of the infected folk, will also play a role in the story. The only other character speculated to be in the game is a psychopathic biker who drives a motorcycle customized with steam roller parts. Sounds pretty nasty.
Capcom isn’t commenting on the rumors just yet, so sit tight for now. Are you ready for more Dead Rising?
