‘Get that scum… Make him PAY’
Capcomhas announcedthat sales of 2019’sResident Evil 2have reached the five million mark, surpassing that of even the original PS1 classic, which sat spinning in many a PlayStation console back in 1998.
The Golden Joystick-winning remake first launched back in January of this year, where it wowed fans new and old with its revamped models, maps and monsters. The originalResident Evil 2often comes up in conversation as one of the best PlayStation – nay – bestgamesof all-time, and Capcom did an excellent job in recreating the horrors of the Raccoon Police Department for a whole new generation of players, not to mention the return of the meme-riffic Mr. X.
This proud accomplishment conveniently comes within a day of the revelation that 1999’sResident Evil 3is also getting a rework. Launching in April 2020,Resi 3will no doubt take a similar approach, presenting recognisable characters, locales, weapons and monsters, but all brought screaming into a new decade of visuals and mechanics. Pre-orders forResident Evil 3on PS4, PC and Xbox One are now live, you’re able to check out a clip of the game in actionright here.
Resident Evil 2, meanwhile, is available now on PS4, PC and Xbox One.
