Fans looking forward to Dead Rising 2 received some sad news today when Capcom announced they are delaying the release date again.

The original Dead Rising was released early on in the life of the Xbox 360 and turned out to a huge surprise hit for Capcom. Fans of the original game were really excited when a sequel was announced in early 2009 but unfortunately the original release date was pushed back to August of this year. Capcom has again delayed the release date to September 28th. No word on whether this will affect the release of the Xbox 360 exclusive download Case Zero that will work as a bridge between the two games. No official release date was given for Case Zero but it was said that it should be out 4 to 6 six weeks before the release of Dead Rising 2. No reason for the delay was given but if they just need a little more time to polish the game than a little wait will be worth it.

Dead Rising 2 is now going to be released on September 28th for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC.
