As reported by PushStart on Saturday, September 6, new details have been revealed regarding the sequel to Resident Evil: Revelations , Resident Evil: Revelations 2 , which is slated to release in early-2015 for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
According to the details found by PushStart, Claire Redfield, the daughter of Barry Burton, will be returning in the Revelations sequel, along with information on the game’s plot, enemies and more. According to PushStart, the information was provided by Resident Evil: Revelations 2’s producer Michiteur Okabe during an interview with Gamesmaster.
Below is a list of some of the new details for Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (courtesy of PushStart), which includes confirmation of co-op play, 1080p at 60 frames per second (on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One assumably), and that the game will be much more survival orientated.
Claire Redfield will return as the playable lead and it is said that “ In the time since we last saw her (Claire) , she’s grown to be a seasoned veteran. ”
Claire will be joined throughout the campaign with Moira Burton, daughter of the legendary Barry Burton.
The campaign will be playable in co-op or singleplayer.
When playing as Claire, her style will be more combat focused. Whereas Moira will be supplying Claire with health herbs, provided the flashlight and general support.
Claire will be the only player death that will result in a Game Over, one of Moira’s key roles will be to help keep Claire alive (though Claire can obviously heal herself).
The story will take place on an abandoned island detention facility.
The campaign will begin with Claire and Moira awakening after being abducted.
The events will take place between the events of Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 .
Gameplay will be much more Survival Horror orientated (much like the first Resident Evil: Revelations ), bringing the series back to its roots with less over the top action, unlike Resident Evil 5 and 6 .
Fan feedback has played a part in the development of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 . Producer Okabe said that “ The project has been finding the line between listening to fan feedback and also doing something different to confound expectations. ”
Okabe also said that “ I want this to be both a game that doesn’t lose what made its predecessor great, while also bringing something new and exciting to the Resident Evil series. ” He also added that “ Achieving that lofty goal by bringing together past and future will make this an itchy-tasty prospect indeed. ”
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 will feature a new “ Afflicted ” enemy type, which “ may look like zombies, but are in fact something quite different. ”
The Afflicted enemy will be both fast and able to deal heavy damage to the player. It is also said that they will force the player to decide whether to take them head-on, sneak up using stealth and applying a take-down or the player can run for the hills and “ preserve ammo ”.
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 will run at 1080p and 60fps (for the PC and new gen versions at least).
