Dead Rising 2 farmed out West?

It was one of the first triple-A titles on Xbox 360 upon its release in late 2006, and now rumours of a sequel to Dead Rising have emerged – along with some speculation concerning a change of development duties.

The March issue of US games mag EGM claims that the game is already in development for ‘multiple consoles’. Seeing as the first game was an Xbox 360 exclusive, this suggests the sequel may also be heading to PS3, and possibly even Wii and PC.

In addition, EGM claims that Capcom is not handling development duties, and that instead a Los Angeles based studio has taken the reins.

There is still no word on a possible release date.
