While the first Dead Rising game never made it to the PC, we were very happy that Capcom decided to bring the sequel to their acclaimed zombie action game to our platform. Today the publisher revealed that Dead Rising 2 will be getting a version of the ever popular co-op mode.

Yep, that means you can play the full game with a good buddy and apparently the two of you can even share a brewski together. You and your pal can team up to hit, maim, shoot, chop and slice the hordes of the Romero slow moving-style zombies in the game. Will PC players check out this different take on the genre in the wake of the Left 4 Dead series? We will fine out when the game is released on August 31.
