Capcom issued the following statement shortly after midnight this morning.
The game was previously set to release on 8/31. I'm happy to confirm today that I'm a little disappointed by this announcement.We are happy to confirm today that one of our most hotly anticipated titles of the Fall, Dead Rising 2, is set for release across North America on September 28, 2010. Sequel to the million plus seller, Dead Rising, and set in the gambling paradise of Fortune City, Dead Rising 2 introduces a new main character, Chuck Greene, and 1000’s of new zombies in this darkly comedic, no holds-barred action title.
