•  Ability to swap the soundtrack with the original version
• 12-inch Leon S. Kennedy (R.P.D. version) figure
• 32-page Ben’s File art book

Talk about packing a lot into a great bundle.

Pre-orders also include the “Samurai Edge – Chris Model” and “Samurai Edge – Jill Model” weapons. Resident Evil 2 arrives on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One January 25, 2019.

In an interview with GamingBolt News, Capcom Brand Manager Mike Lunn stated that there are no plans to bring Resident Evil 2 to the Nintendo Switch “at this time.” Also of note is the remake’s third-person perspective instead of the original’s fixed-camera angles. This is also similar to the gameplay introduced later in Resident Evil 4.
