Dead Rising 2 receiving DLC for the next 4 weeks

Today on the Official PlayStation Blog, Capcom’s Josh Bridge revealed that Dead Rising 2 would be receiving an assortment of downloadable content that would be releasing over the next four weeks. Unfortunately, most of the content was also available as pre-order bonuses, so those who already have them don’t have much to get excited about.

The first DLC is available on October 12th and you can expect one piece of DLC every following week up until November 2nd. The content being made available revolves around different character themes for the main zombie killer — Chuck. He’s being decked out in Ninja, Sports, Psychopath, and Army wear; each of which gives him different abilities with related weaponry.

For example, the Psychopath theme pack not only gives you a crazed horror outfit, but you are stronger and deadlier with classic horror movie weapons like the chainsaw, cleavers, axes, and machetes. The Psychopath theme will hit the PlayStation Network on October 12th.

We also have a Soldier of Fortune theme that decks you out as the ultimate action hero with increased deadliness for all firearms. Be sure to note the cool face paint — super 80′s action hero! The Soldier of Fortune pack due out on PSN a week later, October 19th.

There is a Sports Fan pack that lets you be the ultimate sports party animal. Drink as much as you want and not get sick! You are also more deadly with any sporty weapons. e sure to gamble…’cause you will likely come out a winner more often. The Sports Fan pack will arrive on PSN October 26th — just before Halloween!

And finally the Ninja theme….my personal fave. I love ninjas, and what better way to live out that fantasy than in a zombie-filled world? You are virtually undetectable to the undead and you are more deadly with swords and thrown weapons. You are a ninja, after all! The Ninja pack will hit PSN on November 2nd.
