Capcom has now confirmed that Resident Evil Revelations games 1 and 2 will be arriving on the Nintendo Switch sometime before the end of 2017. This announcement has thrilled fans of the series who are eager to experience the horror and action of these games on a portable console.
Resident Evil Revelations will be arriving a little earlier on both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and will be available to play from August 29th, 2017 onwards. Check out the trailer below to whet your appetite ahead of the game’s launch.
Enhanced Features and Gameplay
After originally launching on the Nintendo 3DS back in 2012, the new version features a 1920×1080 resolution, an improved framerate, and enhanced graphics. This allows players to experience the game in stunning high definition. You will once again play as Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield as they investigate the reportedly abandoned Queen Zenobia cruise ship. The improved visuals and smoother gameplay make the horror elements even more immersive and terrifying.
The game also includes Raid Mode (horde mode), which has been a fan favorite. This mode includes The Ghost Ship: Chaos, which is described as a fresh take on the stage, with more powerful weapons and remixed enemy placements. This mode provides a challenging experience for players looking to test their skills against waves of enemies.
Resident Evil Revelations will feature four controller schemes based on control types from across the entire series. This addition will be interesting to see once the game is released, as it allows players to choose their preferred control style, whether they are veterans of the series or newcomers.
Resident Evil Revelations 2 on Switch
Resident Evil Revelations 2, which originally released episodically in 2015, will also be making its way to the Nintendo Switch. This sequel continues the story with new characters and settings, offering a fresh yet familiar experience for fans. The game follows Claire Redfield and Moira Burton as they navigate through a nightmarish island facility. The episodic nature of the game adds a unique storytelling element, keeping players engaged with cliffhangers and plot twists.
The Switch version of Resident Evil Revelations 2 will include all previously released DLC, providing a comprehensive package for players. This includes additional episodes, costumes, and weapons, ensuring that there is plenty of content to keep players entertained.
The portability of the Nintendo Switch adds a new dimension to the Resident Evil Revelations games. Players can now take the horror and action with them on the go, whether they are playing in handheld mode or on a TV. This flexibility makes the Switch an ideal platform for these games, allowing players to experience the terror wherever they are.
The arrival of Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 on the Nintendo Switch is an exciting development for fans of the series. With enhanced graphics, improved gameplay, and the inclusion of all DLC, these games offer a comprehensive and immersive experience.
