This past summer, Nick told us that The Bigs developer Blue Castle might be taking over the duties for Capcom on the next Dead Rising game, and that there was evidence that the sequel would be episodic.

About a month after this, Jim caught word of even more evidence. While not true confirmation, Vancouver metal band Cradle To Grave mentions that they worked on songs for a "Zombie Ritual" game for Blue Castle.  

Finally, this new rumor seems less like one. The folks at Eurogamer seem to be pretty stand up guys, so we'll believe them when they say that they received confirmation from a source in Vancouver that the sequel had been handed to Blue Castle. 

The source said: "Everyone's really excited; the team has obviously seen the rumours and it's been hard to keep quiet, but they can't wait to show off the game."

Eurogamer also points to Blue Castle's Web site, which says that they are working on "an unannounced Action title." They're also hiring for this action title, with the job listing stating: "It's getting around - there is something amazing being built here at Blue Castle behind locked doors."
