Resident Evil Revelations

Originally a 3DS title, Resident Evil Revelations arrives on PC with sharper HD visuals, reworked lighting and a fuller soundscape. The PC release also folds in extra material: a fresh enemy, an additional difficulty tier and several improvements to Raid Mode.

The campaign fills in events between Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, uncovering the story of the T-Abyss virus. Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield take the lead alongside their BSAA partners Parker Luciani and Jessica Sherawat. Much of the action plays out aboard the Queen Zenobia, a cruise ship that should be empty but is not, before shifting to the wrecked coastal city of Terragrigia. Ammunition stays tight throughout, and the Genesis scanner lets players analyze enemies and comb rooms for concealed items. A newly added Infernal difficulty reshuffles enemy and item placement so even veterans face surprises.

Raid Mode lets players grind through mission-based encounters solo or in online co-op, leveling characters and earning weapon upgrades, with extra weapons, skills and playable characters such as Rachel and Hunk added for this version.
