Capcom has confirmed that it has partnered with Playboy magazine to have content from the boob mag featured in the upcoming zombie-fest title Dead Rising 2, which is scheduled for release later this year for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC platforms.
Players that discover the Playboy magazine in the game will receive a unique and special upgrade for Chuck Greene, the main character in Dead Rising 2. Furthermore, players will come across Playboy ads and billboards that will feature specially selected issues from the magazine’s 57-year history.
The new magazine system for Dead Rising 2, which will feature Playboy along with various other publications, is an evolution of the popular book system from the original Dead Rising game. Along with the special Playboy issue, there will be a variety of different themed magazines that Chuck will be able to pick up for bonuses to use to help fend off the zombie hordes along the way.
Although the magazine system was quite useful in the original Dead Rising, I’m not sure I want to know what special abilities Chuck will get from picking up and reading Playboy.
