New Details on ‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ for Consoles

We are pleased to announce that we’ve got a ton of new information about the upcoming release of ‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ to share with you, from new characters, enemies, Wii U functionalities, and new screenshots.

We’re pleased to confirm that Rachel, who made her debut in the 3DS release of ‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ will be joining Hunk as a brand new playable character in Raid mode. PAX EAST attendees this week will also be able to play as both new characters for the first time on the Capcom booth #948.

‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ features two brand new enemies, including the Wall Blister, and a surprise new creature that appears in Raid Mode, once players have reached a certain level.

Wii U players will be able to face the fear on-board using three different play styles. Play with the TV and access your map and weapons on the GamePad, or switch the GamePad out for a Wii U pro controller.  Alternatively, transfer all the horror just to the GamePad as the title utilizes Off TV play.

Wii U players will get further exclusives through the Miiverse feature. Players can post a dying message from the Game Over screen for other players around the world to see, and you can taunt your friends with the “Creatures Voice” function, allowing enemies in Raid mode to have their thoughts personalised.

‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ also supports Residentevil.net, with online events and in-game connectivity planned for after launch. Exclusive dioramas of the game’s characters and enemies can be collected through the online service. Earn custom parts and weapons for use in Raid mode, and items for Campaign mode.

‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ is slated to be released on May 21st in North America, May 23rd in Japan and Australia, and May 24th in Europe, all for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii U.
