The excellent could be on the way to the PC, according to the latest web-based gossip this morning.

Formerly an exclusive, we're already fairly confident are working on a sequel to this surprise hit, with news today also predicting that the original release looks set for the PC, too.

The distributer of Capcom's games in Italy apparently made something of faux-pas, revealing that the version was on the way - something Capcom have refused to comment on.

Capcom's support for the PC has increased recently, offering and Devil May Cry 4 to the platform, and Dead Rising's dark humour and well-designed mechanics would likely prove popular.

More Dead Rising soon.
