“Resident Evil Revelations” Raids Your 360, PS3, Wii U & PC in May
Capcom has revealed (ahem) that all you zombie-poppers out there now have Resident Evil Revelations to look forward to on your home consoles & PC! The new title invades North America at retail for 360, PS3, PC and Wii U on May 21 and Europe on May 24…and those waiting for digital versions will be able to grab them at launch on PSN and PC. (360 and Wii U digital downloads are coming.)
Resident Evil Revelations brings the tense, immersive experience players enjoyed in Resident Evil Revelations for 3DS to the big brother platforms.
There’s some new to be found in the upcoming console/PC version, too!
The home console version will deliver additional content including a terrifying new enemy, extra difficulty mode and improvements to Raid Mode such as new weapons, skill sets and the opportunity to play as Hunk and other characters from the series. Raid Mode, which was first introduced to the series in the original version of Resident Evil Revelations, sees gamers play online in co-op mode or alone in single player, taking on the hordes of enemies across a variety of missions whilst levelling up characters and earning weapon upgrades.
The critically acclaimed survival horror title takes players back to the events that took place between Resident Evil™ 4 and Resident Evil™ 5 and reveals the truth about the T-Abyss virus. Resident Evil Revelations features series favourites Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield, plus respective BSAA partners – Parker Luciani and Jessica Sherawat. The action begins on board a supposedly abandoned cruise ship, the ‘Queen Zenobia’, where horrors lurk around every corner, before players head for the mainland and the devastated city of Terragrigia. With limited ammo and weapons available the race is on to survive the horror of Resident Evil Revelations.
Resident Evil Revelations will take full advantage of Residentevil.net with content available to users once the game launches. Players can pre-register on the service from January 24th to gain early access to Resident Evil Revelations themed content with further information about online events to be revealed closer to launch.
Kaboom. And check out these screen shots. It’s gorgeous:
Get ready, folks. Jill and Chris are back in action on the big screen in your gaming life this May!

Curious. I am trying to remember if Resident Evil has been using Unreal Engine or the in-house MT Framework 2.0. If it is MT Framework, it should be an interesting test of the supposed scaling abilities of the engine to go from 3DS to the older brother consoles and the red headed stepchild known as PC.
Count me as one that wants this. I liked the version on 3DS and I would love to grab it on PC when it is released.
It does look purdy, don’t it? My GamePad might just be used for some intense critter blasting after all…
