Zombie-themed games are rapidly gaining popularity worldwide. Survival games generally make zombies the major enemies to deal with, but action-adventure games have also joined this trend. Dead Rising is one of the most potent examples of this. Surprisingly, these undead creatures make a powerful opposing force every time. However, according to a recent update, zombie game fans are going to get something exciting.

Dead Rising is one of the most popular zombie-themed action-adventure games released in 2006. After years, Capcom is bringing a fully remastered version of the base game, named Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. The exciting part is that this remastered version brings a skin that players have seen in Resident Evil previously.

Capcom Is Bringing a Resident Evil Skin to Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster

Capcom is bringing one of the iconic Resident Evil villains to one of its upcoming Dead Rising installments.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is scheduled to be released on September 19, 2024. While players are excited about experiencing the modern version of this old game, something proves that Capcom is trying to connect the Resident Evil series and Dead Rising with a grotesque DLC skin. 

According to a recent YouTube clip from Capcom, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is bringing a DLC pack skin named Licker. This skin is part of the Resident Evil Villains Pack. If you don’t remember, Licker was a bizarre character introduced in Resident Evil 2.

If you are not familiar with the character, Licker is a deadly creature with a deformed body and a knife-sharp tongue. It can throw its tongue up to several feet to kill enemies. Therefore, coming within the five-foot range of the Licker is dangerous. 

This iconic Resident Evil villain is about to make its way to Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, and soon, the protagonist of Dead Rising will be able to wear this outfit while killing zombies. Though the look won’t be impressive at all, players may still find it attractive for it being the Licker.

On X (formerly Twitter), fans have started expressing their excitement. Mostly, players called it “cool.”

A lot of players mentioned that they were more willing to play the game after this costume was revealed. 

Some players are even curious to know whether the skin will be a mere costume or if it will grant them special abilities. 

Players even found Frank West wearing the skin and running behind a woman funny. 

Of course, there are multiple different demands from the players after the Licker skin was teased. 

Whether Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will win the hearts of fans or not is still unknown, but the Licker skin seems to have gained popularity from the beginning.
