Capcom vow to return to Dead Rising after killing Puzzle Fighter revival

Update, April 20: Capcom’s Vancouver studio will dedicate its focus to Dead Rising alongside the end of their mobile Puzzle Fighter project.

Capcom Game Studios Vancouver launched a mobile revival of Puzzle Fighter last year. Despite building on a beloved puzzler featuring loads of Capcom favourites, this free-to-play version didn’t exactly catch on, and it’s soon to be gone for good. In-app purchases will be disabled following a final content update on April 23, while the game itself will be delisted on July 1, with the servers set to shut down on July 31.

These are the best zombie games on PC.

The missed opportunity of a failed Puzzle Fighter aside, this does mean that “the studio is dedicating its focus to our flagship Dead Rising franchise.” Capcom Vancouver, formerly Blue Castle Games, have helmed the series since Dead Rising 2, and despite diminishing returns on the more recent sequels it’s natural that they’d return to it.
