Capcom have announced that Dead Rising 2 is in development, and have released a debut trailer and a handful of screenshots to prove it!

Releasing on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC this time, Dead Rising 2 is set several years after the events of the first game, and the zombie virus has still not been cured or contained, managing to spread throughout the United States. Players will find themselves in Fortune City this time, Capcom’s take on Las Vegas, as the new playground to take on the zombie hordes.

In development at Canadian developer Blue Castle, and under the watchful eye of Capcom producer Keiji Inafune, Dead Rising 2 looks set to usurp the original for best zombie action game! Check out the wonderfully stylised trailer for Dead Rising 2 below, which reveals just how bad the zombie outbreak has become:
