Like a zombie bursting forth from its personal grave, Useless Rising is seemingly being resurrected for a brand new sequel following the success of final yr’s Useless Rising Deluxe Remaster.
It’s these high quality people over at MP1ST who’ve the inside track, claiming that sources have knowledgeable them of a brand new sport within the franchise which has been in improvement since no less than 2023.
Curiously, they be aware that the early indicators level to this being a direct sequel to the primary sport, and doubtlessly set earlier than the occasions of Useless Rising 2. Nonetheless, they do be aware that they haven’t been capable of affirm this.
What they’ve confirmed is that Frank West is coming again, which is smart since final yr’s remaster helped introduce him to a brand new technology of avid gamers.
As for the setting, the brand new sport will apparently happen in Hollywood, inside a large enclosed film set, which appears like a fairly superior situation. Frank will discover himself going up in opposition to a crazed movie director who shoves Frank and another survivors by means of trials in a bid to shoot the proper film.
Different particulars embody the return of Psychopaths, and a person with a bomb strapped to his chest who has been tasked with filming all the things.
Taking images will as soon as once more be a gameplay mechanic, as will the basic Useless Rising time restrict, this time primarily based across the director organising horrific time-limited eventualities.
I imagine there’s positively room for a brand new Useless Rising to thrive as a comparatively small double-A method product. Final yr’s remaster jogged my memory how enjoyable the sequence could possibly be, and the way far it fell by Useless Rising 4.
