Listing Leaks ‘Dead Rising 4’ Launch Date

Published

on

Christmas may come early this year, folks. It was a little disappointing when Microsoft announced Dead Rising 4 at their pre-E3 conference with no mention of when we should expect it, and now, it seems as if a listing on the company’s own digital storefront might’ve beaten them to it.

The listing was removed as I was writing this. Thank goodness for screencaps.

Dead Rising 4 arrives on December 6th, claims the Xbox Store.

That looks about right, especially considering the previously announced December release window. If the listing is accurate, then that puts it 174 days out. I suspect it will be worth it, based on the limited details we’re currently privy to. So far, we know it will star Frank West, support co-op for up to four players, and it’ll feature many more things for us to build — in addition to the crazy, over-the-top weapons — including craftable vehicles and body mods.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
