  • Resident Evil: Revelations 2 to See Episodic Release in 2015

    Capcom revealed that Resident Evil: Revelations 2 will be released as a "weekly series of episodic downloads." There will be four episodes in total that "feature hours of gameplay."

    That is to say that if you want to experience all of Revelations 2 in one go, you'll have to wait about an extra month from its initial release.
    A digital download option of the Complete Season will also be available to ensure fans can get each episode as it rolls out, and a retail disc version will arrive following the final episode. Both the disc version and the Complete Season will include additional game content, which will be detailed in the coming weeks and months. With the variety of options available, Resident Evil® fans will have more choices available to them than ever before.

    Weekly Episodic download - 4 individual episodes - $5.99 (USD) per episode
    Complete Season - All 4 individual episodes plus additional game content - $24.99
    Full Retail disc version - All 4 individual episodes plus additional game content - $39.99

    In addition to this, Capcom released some additional details about the game's plot and offers up a few new screenshots for your viewing pleasure.


    The beginning of the Resident Evil Revelations 2 tale sees fan favorite Claire Redfield make a dramatic return to the horrors that haunted her in the past . Survivor of the Raccoon City incident depicted in previous Resident Evil games, Claire now works for the anti-bioterrorism organisation Terra Save. Moira Burton, new recruit and daughter of Resident Evil legend Barry Burton, is attending her welcome party for Terra Save when unknown armed forces storm the office. Claire and Moira are knocked unconscious and awaken later to find themselves in a dark and abandoned detention facility. Working together, they must find out who took them and to what sinister end. With the terrifying Afflicted enemies waiting around every dark corner, players will need to use their ammo and weapon supply wisely, in classic survival horror style. Will Claire and Moira make it out alive and discover what’s led to them being taken to this remote island? Who else will they come across? A story of twists and turns will have players guessing the next step at every turn.

    Revelations 2 is stlated to be released in North America and Europe in early 2015 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC.

      Some of those screenshots look good, some don't.

      I like all the RE games since 4 so i'll stay hopeful, but episodic games always have me worried, if you're releasing weekly that pretty much means all the episodes are finished before you start releasing them, what's the point... other than to have in general a shorter game.
