Resident Evil 2 - Xbox One

The genre-defining masterpiece Resident Evil 2 returns, completely rebuilt from the ground up for a deeper narrative experience. Using Capcom's proprietary RE Engine, Resident Evil 2 offers a fresh take on the classic survival horror saga with breathtakingly realistic visuals, heart-poundingly immersive audio, a new over-the-shoulder camera, and modernized controls on top of gameplay modes from the original game. The nightmares return reimagined for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC on January 25, 2019.

Resident Evil 2 delivers a spine-chilling reimagining of a horror classic, based on the original PlayStation console release in 1998. The new game has been completely rebuilt from the ground up for a deeper narrative experience, offering players a whole new perspective. The new over-the-shoulder camera mode and modernized control scheme create a more modern take on the survival horror experience, while also providing a trip down memory lane with the original gameplay modes from the 1998 release.

Built on Capcom's proprietary RE Engine, Resident Evil 2 delivers breathtakingly photorealistic visuals in 4K, with stunning lighting that creates an up-close, intense and atmospheric experience as players roam the corridors of the Raccoon City Police Department (RPD). Zombies are brought to life with a horrifyingly realistic wet gore effect, reacting in real time and taking instant visible damage, making every bullet count.

In Resident Evil 2, the classic action, tense exploration, and puzzle solving gameplay that defined the Resident Evil series returns. Players join rookie police officer Leon Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield, who are thrust together by a disastrous outbreak in Raccoon City that transformed its population into deadly zombies. Both Leon and Claire have their own separate playable campaigns, allowing players to see the story from both characters' perspectives. The fate of these two fan favorite characters is in players' hands as they work together to survive and get to the bottom of what is behind the terrifying attack on the city. Will they make it out alive?

When players insert a game disc, the console checks to see whether the game is already installed. If it is not, they are prompted to install the game. They may also be prompted to download an update to the game before they can play it.

Resident Evil 2 offers iconic series-defining gameplay, where players engage in frenzied combat with enemies, explore dark menacing corridors, solve puzzles to access areas, and collect and use items discovered around the environment in a terrifying constant fight for survival.
