We're truly living in a golden age where all of the best PSone titles are coming back from the dead. Hot on the heels of Final Fantasy VII Remake, Capcom has now announced that Resident Evil 2 will rise again. There are no formats officially confirmed at the time of typing, but you should anticipate a PlayStation 4 release.
Hideki Kamiya's classic survival horror sequel is regarded by many as the best entry in the franchise, as it drags protagonists Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy out onto the streets of Raccoon City. The game has only just been approved for production so it's too early for screenshots yet, but it's being helmed by Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, who fronted this year's Resident Evil HD Remake.
That game was, of course, based upon the GameCube version, so it's going to be interesting to see how it approaches this one. In an infectiously exciting video for fans, however, Hirabayashi insists that the organisation is "looking forward to delivering this highly anticipated experience". It's a wonderful time to be alive, readers.

YES!
Between this and Final Fantasy I need nothing else
RE 2 is in my top 5 all-time favorites but I need to see more than just a logo before getting hyped. Hopefully we get a real look at it at TGS.
I say 3 years and the entire series will be on PS4
Beyond excited!!!
I'm so excited for this!!! For me the best ps one game made!!!
@Gamer83 It'll be a while yet. As I understand it, this is just Capcom telling the team, "Yes, you can make it" right now. Probably have to wait until next year for screens.
Pretty amped for this! Now they just need to announce a series reboot from RE5 and beyond and we're good!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Pardon my french but, IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!
YES!!!!!
You know better >:[ -Tasuki-
I'm so excited, a little bit of wee escaped.....and then a lot of wee 😉
First RE game I ever experienced and always found it to be the best entry right next to RE4. Great news!
Just give us a complete retail package please with 0,1,2. 😀
Considering how well the re remake was done, yes, yes, and with gusto yes! Best news of the day. Only way it gets better is if i hear of a mass effect next gen collection or morrowind/oblivion/skrim remaster which lets be honest, aint happening.
Woot
Happy days all around!!
Hope this releases no later than 2017 but if it's 2018 it's understood especially with it being the 20th anniversary of the original release.
It will skip Nintendo again no doubt...
@BigDaddyT0101 It may have more of a chance than you think. If we take the recent news that we wont hear Skyrim sequel info for a long time and the fact bethesda are bringing mods to consoles, an upres is most definitely on the cards if not a remaster.
@Gamer83 buy didn't that t shirt do it for you, totally pointless.
Not played this since around launch way back when, looking forward to see how it ends up.
@Link41x it will come through NX
"Resident Evil 2 Will Rise from the Dead on the PS4"
"There are no formats officially confirmed at the time of typing, but you should anticipate a PlayStation 4 release."
These seem a tad contradictory. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the game will grace the PS4 but the article title seemed to be an official confirmation when there's technically no official word yet..
I just really hope they don't make Claire look like she does in RER2 and they don't have Leon suplexing enemies and flipping out of 2nd storey windows like in RE4.
Can't wait for this & RE:Zero to
