Capcom has announced that Dead Rising 2, the follow-up to the multi-million selling Dead Rising, will be released in Europe on September 3 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

The publisher also revealed that Xbox 360 gamers will be able to get an exclusive taste of Dead Rising 2 with the release of downloadable prologue, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero. This will be available as a download only for Xbox 360 shortly before the release of the full game.

In the sampler, players will be introduced to main protagonist and former motocross champion Chuck Greene, while the action will reveal a link between the original game and upcoming events at Fortune City.

Further details including a release date and pricing will be announced soon

A new demo of the game was on show at Microsoft’s X10 event today, introducing the ability to create improvised weapons by combining two items – take two objects, add a roll of tape and suddenly an innocent water gun and a can of gasoline become a deadly flamethrower, while a garden rake and car battery combine to create an electrified zombie prod.
