Dead Rising 2 and Crackdown Rumoured for August’s Games with Gold Promotion

by on July 31, 2013
 

According to Polish games site OnlineCenter.pl, the next set of games that will be available for Xbox Gold subscribers are Dead Rising 2 and the original Crackdown.

A NeoGAF user spotted the post, which was then picked up by OXM. Apparently, August’s Games with Gold promotion that was recently launched by Microsoft will see the outlandish zombie killing of Capcom’s cult series and the orb collecting of a true Xbox 360 classic, come to the service.

Polish retailer Ultima backs up these claims as they posted a promotional image (which can be seen, above) sporting both Crackdown and Dead Rising 2, shortly after this rumour came to light.

Nothing concrete has come out of the Xbox camp just yet, but we’ll know as of tomorrow whether this is the truth or just plain old poppycock.

Update: The Major has spoken. Crackdown will be available to download from tomorrow at no extra cost for all Xbox Live Gold members and Dead Rising 2 – along with Dead Rising 2: Case Zero – will be the second game available this month, on August 16. As always, be sure to download these games before the end of August.
