Dead Rising 4 was unveiled just a few months ago at E3 in Los Angeles and today Microsoft announced a series of exclusive, in-game digital items for those who place a pre-order. However, each of the four items will be exclusive to a particular vendor, writes Xbox Wire.
Those who elect to pre-order the game through the Microsoft Store will receive the X-Fists DLC, a mechanical suit with giant green hands.
Those who make their pre-purchase through GameStop will receive a snowball-shooting helmet with the the Steampunk Snowman Head DLC.
Going with the Christmas theme, Best Buy pre-orders will come with a special weapon in the Candy Cane Crossbow DLC.
Last is a vicious looking vehicle, available only from Amazon, which comes with the Slicecycle DLC. It’s described as a "combo chain saw and motorcycle with superior strength and speed to slice your way effectively through the zombie horde."
Polygon had some hands-on time with the game not long ago, which you can read about here.
Whether these pre-order bonuses are anything to write home about is anyone’s guess, but to get them all you’ll need four copies of the game for a grand total of $239.96. We generally recommend that you not pre-order games, and instead wait for the reviews to come in. We've said this for some time now.
Dead Rising 4 is scheduled for release this holiday season on Xbox One and Windows PC.
