In the realm of gaming, surprises come in different forms. Sometimes it's an unanticipated sequel to a much-loved title, other times it's a complete overhaul of an existing title, or a nostalgic classic that nobody saw coming. Today's surprise is from Capcom and an update for Resident Evil 2, specifically, its remake.
Just when the gaming community had their attention riveted to other latest releases, Capcom decides to take us on a blast to the past, shedding new light on an old favorite.
To give you some context, the Resident Evil 2 Remake made its debut in the early part of 2019. It was an initial part of Capcom's recent journey to revitalize the cherished Resident Evil series. With its more recent emphasis on the remake of Resident Evil 4, which has seen a lot of traction this year, it seemed improbable for them to look back at Resident Evil 2, yet, here we are, discussing a fresh update for a game that's been on the shelves for over four years.
Now, this isn't one of your run-of-the-mill patches that developers silently roll out years post-release under the generic tagline of "performance improvements and stability updates". This is Capcom we're talking about, and they've always had a penchant for keeping things interesting.
