Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Trick Lets You Leave the Mall

Key Takeaways

  • An exploit in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster allows players to escape the mall using a staircase and a bicycle.
  • Players can explore the outside world of Willamette, but it’s lonely with limited interactivity.
  • Capcom may release more Dead Rising content in the future.

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster has been a rollercoaster ride! The ability to escape the mall, while initially seeming like a glitch, has turned out to be an unexpected twist in this zombie-slaying saga.


In the reimagined version of the 2006 zombie-slaughtering game, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, there’s been discovered an escape route beyond the supposedly enclosed shopping mall within the fictional town of Willamette, Colorado. This is despite the developers’ intentions to keep all the action confined within the mall.

In the updated version of the game, there’s a set of steps close to the security room entrance that facilitates player’s ability to save survivors stranded in the mall during Dead Rising Deluxe Remastered. This staircase also serves the purpose of allowing players to transport a bicycle onto the rooftop, an essential step for successfully executing the escape trick.

In a video posted on Twitter, it’s demonstrated how one gamer navigated from the rooftop of a mall down to the parking lot and beyond. The technique involves carrying a bike onto the roof, positioning it close to a dumpster next to the fence, and dismounting. This method is displayed in the video as the character, Frank West from Dead Rising, launches over the fence into the zombie-filled parking lot below. Upon exiting the fence, it seems that Frank can roam Willamette freely, although the structures and vegetation outside of the usual boundaries are less detailed. Unfortunately, those looking to engage in zombie battles around town may be disappointed, as aside from the parking lot, the exterior world is rather empty.

What’s Outside the Mall in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster?

In the initial sequence of the remastered version called “Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster”, Frank assists fellow survivors who are trapped within a shopping mall, trying to fortify the main entrance. Unfortunately, this attempt fails dramatically, emphasizing that leaving through the front doors isn’t viable. Although zombies are seen destroying the town in the opening helicopter ride, they aren’t aggressive towards Frank; however, players can still choose to eliminate them, boosting the game’s overall kill tally. It is important to note that once players exit the mall, there is no way to re-enter. However, stepping outside offers Frank an opportunity to capture unique “Dead Rising” photographs before his impending downfall.

For longtime Dead Rising enthusiasts, the prospect of unexplored territory could ignite excitement, but it seems evident that this wasn’t meant to be unveiled by the developers. Those craving more from the franchise can anticipate further content, as hints suggest that Capcom might be planning a new Dead Rising sequel, another remastered game, or a reimagining of one of the other series titles in the not-so-distant future.
