Players will likely never see this version of Dead Rising 5, which is a shame, as it was to act as a return to form for the franchise. With Dead Rising 4 not meeting Capcom's expectations, it's only natural that a fifth mainline installment was canceled, but not before the project had received an outline and had began development.

The first Dead Rising hit at the perfect time, bringing an impressive zombie hack-and-slash game to the Xbox 360 right before the zombie market became oversaturated. Even the series' most hardcore fans will agree that not all entries are equal, and some may even go as far as to say the series has never been better than that very first game. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Dead Rising franchise has been a bit of a mixed bag since its debut in 2006.
