Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster makes many changes from the original Dead Rising game, including an easier way to unlock the infamous Infinity Mode. This mode puts you in Frank's shoes against zombie hordes for unlimited time, testing how long you can endure endless survival. This remaster makes it less of a hassle to access Infinity Mode, but only after you beat the game on other settings.

Different hands-on gameplay and previews of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster have shown changes to Infinity Mode. In the original title, the Mode placed you back at the beginning of Frank's adventure, similar to the normal 72-hour story. However, all items were only spawned once in the Mall, you couldn't save your progress, and the mode was always about how long you could last before a game over.

Steps For Unlocking Infinity Mode In Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster

Beat The Game Two Other Times

The only way to unlock Infinity Mode in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is to beat the game in the 72-hour and Overtime modes. The 72-hour mode is the standard difficulty of the game, where you have a limited time to reach an ending before Frank becomes a zombie. This mode will have you defeating bosses, discovering clues related to the undead outbreak, and foraging for items to help you live.

The limited time of Dead Rising will eventually lead you to an ending, but you need to reach the "best" Ending A to unlock Overtime mode. Overtime is a continuation of the 72-hour mode's story, putting Frank in a new setting to survive in. Here, you'll not only have to deal with infected hordes but also new psychopaths and military soldiers trying to cover up what has happened earlier.

Ending A can only be reached when you solve all cases, talk to the NPC Isablea at 10 am, and be at the helipad on time in the 72-hour mode.

Managing to beat both Overtime and 72-hour modes will allow you to select Infinity mode when you start a new game. Frank's health slowly drains throughout Infinity mode, even if you aren't attacked, so this can be easily considered the hardest difficulty in the game.

Unlike the original title, the new content in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster changes Infinity mode significantly. For starters, you can save your progress in Infinity mode now, allowing you to return to the points you've reached. Zombies also now have a small chance to drop valuable items, making it easier to stay alive with resources that don't only spawn once throughout the Mall area.

Staying alive in Infinity mode can earn you tons of achievements/trophies, including ones for surviving for five or seven days. Those who unlock Infinity Mode in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster also have a chance to get the Laser Sword, the strongest melee weapon in the game.
