A new trailer has been released for "Dead Rising 4" and it focuses on one of the locations of the game which is a mall. As the main character returns to the place, it has been overrun by zombies once again.

The latest promotional video clip for the fourth installment of the game "Dead Rising" has been uploaded on Xbox's YouTube channel. The trailer featured the main character, Frank West, who is also a journalist, revisiting the mall plaza of Willamette. This indicates that the latest sequel of the franchise pays homage to the original game since the mall was the setting in the first "Dead Rising" game.

According to reports, the clip started with Frank trying to take some photos from the outside of the mall. However, the character cannot see much of the location and he decides to go inside. He then discovers a horde of zombies waiting for him. The video soon shows a montage of scenes of Frank dealing with the undead. He was also seen mowing through them with a chainsaw.

There are a lot of ways of killing the zombies in the video game such as hacking, slashing and utilizing crazy weapons. There are also new features that were shown that gamers can do. Players will now be allowed to kill zombies by kneeing them on the face or by putting a firework on their heads. To make things more brutal and exciting, gamers would also be allowed to use a katana in order to slice and dice the undead.

Frank would also have the capability to control an exosuit and it has the power to carry heavy weapons. If that were not deadly enough, the exosuit can just punch its way through a wave of zombies.

"Dead Rising 4" is expected to be released on Dec. 6 for the PC and Xbox One platforms. The game will also be launched next year for PlayStation 4.
