Rumors of Dead Rising 2 are swirling around the internet today, and Capcom has already issued a denial. Kotaku reports that in an upcoming issue of Famitsu, Capcom"s Keiji Inafune confirmed the new game, as well as suggesting that it will be on the PlayStation 3 as well. According to the report, he said:

"We"re finally putting out new Dead Rising and Lost Planet games! As a main principle we"re thinking about multiplatform, and expanding upon both slightly from the Xbox 360 version."

The quote sounds pretty cut-and-dry, and the company has been leaning towards multiplatform releases, but Capcom was quick to deny it. Videogaming247 reports that a Capcom representative blames the language barrier. "Dead Rising was a huge success for us and is obviously the kind of game we"d like to continue to make. However, at the moment we have made no official announcement regarding a sequel. As the source is Famitsu, I can only suggest that it was a mistranslation."
