Co-op Mode Confirmed For Dead Rising 2

Capcom has confirmed that players will be able to tag team their way through the undead horde in Dead Rising sequel:

"Once the zombies have gathered, your friend can rain bullets from above or shoot at a strategically-placed gas tank to create a deadly explosion that will take out masses of the enemy.”

Capcom also gave more detail on the Xbox 360 exclusive prequel, Case Zero which is being released before the sequel.

"This Prologue consists of unique content not available in the full retail release of Dead Rising 2 and will introduce new protagonist Chuck Greene as he and his daughter find themselves caught in the desert town of Still Creek that has been overrun with zombies."

"Set two years after the Willamette incident and three before the action of Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero will help bridge the gap between the two titles and give players a taste of the new gameplay they will experience in Dead Rising 2 as they create combo weapons, rescue survivors and take on a ruthless Psychos before making their escape."

The game is due August 31st in North America and September 3rd in Europe.
