    Dead Rising 4 Gets Two New Difficulty Modes and a Demo

    Capcom has announced that the upcoming update for Dead Rising 4 will introduce two new difficulty modes to the title, including a free timed demo of the game.

    Those who found Dead Rising 4 too easy will be pleased to know that the game is getting two new difficulty modes, called Hard and Ultra-Hard, during an update scheduled for January 30th. The new difficulty options will make weapons to break down faster, and will make sure that whatever food Frank manages to pick up will restore less health than it would on lower difficulty levels.

    Completing the game on either of these new difficulty modes will earn Xbox One and PC gamers new completion achievements which are called “Chopping Spree” and “Biter’s Remorse”, respectively.

    The Monday patch will also bring five new Street Fighter costumes which Frank can wear, some of which can be seen below. Frank has always been a perfect example of acceptance throughout the Dead Rising series, so it’s not surprising to see him equally as comfortable wearing a Cammy costume as he is with a Zangief one. The other fighters included in the update are Guile, M. Bison, and T. Hawk. Although it doesn’t seem like wearing the themed costumes will give the player any special fighting abilities, it’s a nice little gift from Capcom.

    Those who are still having second thoughts about picking up Dead Rising 4 will soon have the opportunity to give the ballad of Frank West a little test drive, as Capcom is releasing a limited demo for the game on January 31st, a day after the update is ready to introduce the new difficulty options and free costumes. If gamers should decide to buy the game after the timed demo expires, their progress will carry over into the full title – though that will be the only ‘timed challenge’ they’ll get in their playthrough.

    Although the game appears to have lost some of the main series endearing features and finishing touches, the upcoming January 30th update should make fans who had complained about the lack of difficulty happy.

    Dead Rising 4 is currently available for Xbox One and PC.
