Coming out of E3 2018, it seemed like Resident Evil 2 was going to be something special and the reviews only support that presumption. While titles like Anthem and Cyberpunk 2077 stole a lot of the attention at the annual event, it was RE 2’s remake that actually won game of the show.
Now, several months later, it looks like the final game has a great shot at Game of the Year consideration if not a chance at winning. And should that success with critics translate into strong sales, fans may even see remakes for other popular Capcom titles like Resident Evil 3.
Resident Evil 2 Remake releases January 25, 2018 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
