Resident Evil 2 Remake Gets Amazing and Expensive Collector’s Edition With New Details

During San Diego Comic-Con 2018, Capcom took the stage to announce new details for the release of Resident Evil 2 Remake, coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox one, and PC on January 25, 2019.

Evidently, Resident Evil 2 Remake will feature a younger looking Leon compared to earlier entries. This was intentional by the developers to give him a more fresh-faced rookie look, due to it being his first day on the job.

As for Clair’s updated design, the developers scanned real-world costumes to capture her outfit in complete detail, the same was done for Leon’s outfit. The developers chose to go with the design of Claire riding a motorcycle as the final look. Additionally, they teamed up with Harley-Davidson to use a real world motorcycle as her ride.

Zombies in the game were created to be creatures that the player would hate to be bitten by. Their focus was to make ever encounter more tense then the one before.

Lastly, a limited edition was revealed at the outstanding price of $199.99 and will be exclusive to GameStop retailers.
