Capcom has revealed that since its release at the end of September Dead Rising 2 has shipped over two million copies, bringing the total number of units of the Dead Rising franchise shipped worldwide to date to over four million.

In addition to the money making announcement, Capcom has also confirmed that the acquisition of Canadian company Blue Castle Games has now been ratified by the Canadian authorities, and is now a wholly owned subsidiary, officially known as Capcom Game Studio Vancouver.

The sequel to the million-plus selling Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2 sees the player take on the role of former Motocross champion Chuck Greene, who has come to Fortune City, America's newest gambling paradise, to compete in “Terror is Reality,” a gruesome game show that dares contestants to survive zombie-filled environments for big money prizes at the delight of TV audiences around the globe.
