E3 2016: Leaked ‘Dead Rising 4’ Screenshots Mark The Return Of Frank West

He’s fought evil between dimensions. He’s taken on the finest heroes and most dangerous villains that the Marvel universe has to offer. He’s covered wars! And if these leaked screenshots of the yet to be announced Dead Rising 4 are any indication, there’s no one you would rather have on your side in a zombie apocalypse than Frank West.

After being relegated to guest appearances and becoming the focus of DLC side stories since the character’s debut in the original Dead Rising, the photojournalist takes the lead once again when he finds himself in the middle of yet another zombie outbreak. As expected from a series such as this that doesn’t take itself seriously in the slightest, Frank returns to the fray with a variety of crazy weapons and abilities, one of which is some kind of space armor with a giant concrete stick. Being surrounded by hundreds of zombies never looked so good in the screenshots below. Go ahead, check them out!

The images alone make it obvious that the game will take place near Christmas, so it will be interesting to see how that plays into whatever crazy narrative the game is sure to follow. One thing is for sure though; after Dead Rising 3 improved so much on the previous formula, it can only get better as long as photography makes its return.
