Dead Rising 4 returns to [[Willamette]], the setting of the original game, during the Christmas season. The game is a sequel set sixteen years after the events of the first game, and one year after the events of ''[[Dead Rising 3]]'', though it also acts as a soft reboot of the series. ''Dead Rising 4'' also does away with the restrictive time limit, much like the Wii port of the original; ''[[Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop|Dead Rising: Chop 'Till You Drop]]''.

Capcom announced interest in developing a fourth entry in the series sometime after the release of ''Dead Rising 3''.'' ''The third numbered game's director, Michael Jones, said he was not satisfied with the third game, mentioning that we wanted to make ''Dead Rising'' more interactive through the Xbox Kinect and Smartglass, such as when the player must escape zombie grapples[http://gamingbolt.com/capcom-vancouver-is-excited-about-dead-rising-4]. He also stated that due to the success of the multiplayer system in ''Dead Rising 3'', the next installment could possibly include a four player multiplayer option. The development team further elaborated that such a feat would also be much more difficult than the typical two player co-op the series has been known for since ''Dead Rising 2'', stating that ''"nothing is set in stone"''.

The trailer showed Frank returning to Willamette and revealed the setting for the game to be set during Christmas period. The game takes place 16 years after the first game (which means it takes place a year after ''Dead Rising 3''), and a new outbreak has resulted in the Williamette Memorial Megaplex Mall being overrun by zombies, history repeats itself as Frank has to discover the cause of this new outbreak.

The game will not feature a time limit of any kind due to negative player feedback with previous games. The exception is the online co-op mode, where players complete objectives with a given time limit.<ref>http://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-dead-rising-4s-campaign-ditches-the-series-mos/1100-6442760/</ref> The mode is inspired by the Infinity Mode of the original game. The backstories of the four characters will be detailed within the mode. It starts in a safehouse, where weapons can be purchased before the doors unlock. A safehouse must be reached by the end of the day to survive.<ref>http://www.gamespot.com/articles/dead-rising-4s-campaign-wont-feature-cooperative-m/1100-6445483/</ref>

==Pre-release Fan Reaction==

Since the release of the first trailer, there has been some backlash from the Dead Rising community against Capcom Vancouver's decision to change the voice actor of Frank West, as well as significantly changing his appearance. Fans felt that Frank hadn't returned to his "true form" without the return of his long-time voice actor TJ Rotolo.<ref>https://www.change.org/p/capcom-fix-frank-west-s-face-and-his-voice-dead-rising-4</ref>
