The sequel brings more complex and expanded city-building mechanics and intricate political scenarios. Make tough choices to keep citizens alive — and somewhat happy — while navigating the harsh realities of this frozen world.

Upcoming Additions

Rise and shine — Capcom’s latest action-adventure game, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, heads to the cloud at launch next week. It’s part of nine new titles joining the extensive GeForce NOW library. Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster returns with modern graphics. More than just a remaster, this Deluxe Remaster is a full graphical overhaul of the first game in the zombie-slaughtering action series Dead Rising. The remaster has also been fully voiced, supports auto-saves and has various other quality-of-life features.

One day, the peaceful town of Willamette, Colorado, found itself put under quarantine by the U.S. army. Frank West, a freelance journalist, smells a scoop and finds his way into the only shopping mall in town. Unfortunately, the mall has turned into a living hell, crawling with countless zombies. Help will arrive in 72 hours, so it’s up to him to find out the truth behind this incident before it’s too late.

Witness the unmatched mayhem and freedom when Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster launches on Wednesday, Sept. 19. Stream it with a GeForce NOW Priority or Ultimate membership for longer gaming sessions and higher frame rates.
