Dead Rising - Image 1It was earlier reported that Capcom has announced an official sequel to Dead Rising. Knowing Capcom's business style that lives and dies with sequels, we had every reason to believe it, but the "news" proved premature.

According to Capcom PR Director Chris Kramer, the reports of Dead Rising 2 are "erroneous." He adds, "There has been no official announcement of a sequel to Dead Rising."

Capcom has traced the root of the error to a French site that misunderstood a rumor. Apparently, Famitsu wrote up something in its rumor section regarding Dead Rising 2. The French site had an error in translating the article and ended up on its news page. The rest was history as blogs caught on like wildfire.

When asked if there will ever be a Dead Rising 2, Kramer gave a standard-issue "we have not made any announcements about a Dead Rising sequel."

But cheer up, Dead Rising fans, we bet the farm there will be a sequel. With all the business sense it makes, it's just not likely that Capcom doesn't have plans for it. We'll keep you posted and let you know as soon as the real official announcement comes.
