Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster on PC will be coming out with the controversial Denuvo, which may cause some concern for fans of the series. The Dead Rising franchise in itself has a huge following stemming from all four mainline games and its spin-offs, as well as the lesser-known movies. While the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster may have made fans excited, the discovery that Denuvo will be present may be an issue.
As the trailers and information for the upcoming Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster have confirmed that the game will come to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, many fans have been scouring all available news regarding the title.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Could Retcon One Dead Rising 3 Story Issue
Dead Rising’s Deluxe Remaster will update Dead Rising’s graphics for modern consoles, but it could also retcon one story issue from Dead Rising 3.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster‘s Steam page confirms that the game will incorporate the third-party DRM Denuvo. While developers think highly of the software due to the safety Denuvo provides, recent incidents involving other games which use the technology have raised some concerns about whether the security measures it provides limit the accessibility and ownership of players whenever issues arise with Denuvo’s servers. With the game releasing on September 19, 2024, it will be just a few months to find out how Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster‘s playability will be affected by the Denuvo. Other gamers have reported their negative experiences like slowdown and lagging from other games which use the security measure.

Outside of Capcom, one such instance was when Persona 5 Royal was rendered unplayable in early May. While Denuvo claimed that there were no server outages at the time, many fans lashed out and blamed the anti-piracy software for the inability to play the title. While temporary fixes such as launching the title without online functionality would allow access, many players believed that the makeshift workaround was not a solution. Offline playing limits certain features of each game, and this might cause some dissatisfaction for those who want to experience their games fully.
However, previous reports state that there may be new Denuvo technology coming soon. It hasn’t been stated how different it will be from the existing software, but some fans are hopeful that it will cause fewer problems than before. Granted, issues from the server side of things also have to be addressed first. Whether Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will use existing or new Denuvo technology hasn’t been confirmed yet, but some fans are expressing concern about how it may affect their experience. Hopefully, by the time the game releases, the experience will be smooth so that players don’t turn on Capcom and Dead Rising.
