‘Resident Evil: Revelations 2′ Confirmed! Coming in “Early 2015″

Resident Evil: Revelations 2

In August, just a few weeks after the reveal of a remastered Resident Evil REmake, some box art and a screenshot leaked online prematurely outing a sequel to Resident Evil: Revelations. The source seemed legit enough, but Capcom didn’t offer a comment — likely because they were saving their big reveal for today.

During a Sony press conference held in Japan earlier today, Capcom producer Masachika Kawata took to the stage to confirm the game’s existence, saying Resident Evil: Revelations 2 arrive on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in “early 2015″.

I’m sure the game will be multi-platform, but the PS4 is the only one they’re announcing right now. We don’t know much about it right now, except for the fact that it feature a new period, setting, and it’s being made by the core team that brought us the original Revelations, which is considered by many to be a solid step in bringing the struggling franchise back to its roots in survival horror.

It looks as if neither Jill Valentine or Chris Redfield will be returning. I’ve had about of the latter, so I think I’m okay with his absence.

There was no gameplay footage present at the unveiling, but the tagline looks to be “Evil is watching.” Spooky.

Kawata also confirmed the game will be playable at this year’s Tokyo Game Show (9/18-21) where Capcom plans on revealing some more details on the upcoming game.
