Dead Rising 2 Set in Vegas ?

You may remember that back in February McWhertor wrote up a rumour that Dead Rising 2 would be developed by a Western developer. Specifically, McWhertor wrote that development duties for the game have been handed over to Vancouver-area third-party Blue Castle Games.

Well, like a zombie, a good rumour is hard to kill. We’ve just gotten tipped off from yet another source that yes the folks behind The Bigs for 2K Sports are in fact the team working on the Dear Rising sequel. (Is that a copy of Dead Rising on their art director’s desk?) Moreover, we’re told that this new Dead Rising game will leave the wilds of Colourado (dammit) and venture into Las Vegas.

Dead Rising 2 Coming From The Bigs Team?

Remember that rumour from EGM that pointed to a Dead Rising sequel coming from a Western developer? We heard a similar but slightly different rumour from a source that also says development duties are being shifted stateside, specifically at Vancouver-area third-party Blue Castle Games. If you’re not familiar with the name, you may remember Blue Castle from its work on The Bigs for 2K Sports. While the relatively young, 100-person strong development studio is known for its multi-platform sports work, it is currently listing an unnamed “action game” for the Xbox 360 as one of three secret projects on its plate.
