RESIDENT EVIL 2 To Get Amazing Collector's Edition For The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

Ever since the Resident Evil 2 remake was announced back in 2015, people have been very excited about it. The idea of one of the best survival horror games getting an update is very exciting, so people highly anticipating the Resident Evil 2 remake was to be expected.

The problem was that news for Resident Evil 2 were scarce and people began to wonder if the project had been cancelled or if it was still being worked on. The announcement was rather vague and didn't really say much other than, well, announcing that there was a project that was going to remake the game.

When Resident Evil 2 was shown during this year's E3, people could finally put all their doubts to rest. The game was taking cues from Resident Evil 4 by going with an over the shoulder perspective—ditching the classic fixed camera view. Some saw this as a great change, some others still wish that the developers would've kept the original game almost intact, in terms of gameplay. What no one could argue was that the Resident Evil 2 remake looked simply astounding.

As if it wasn't enough, Capcom recently revealed, during their San Diego Comic-Con panel, that Resident Evil 2—which is coming for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One—will be getting a special Collector's Edition. The Resident Evil 2 Collector's Edition will be available, exclusively, at GameStop  EB Games and will retail for $199.99 USD and $239.99 CAD. Like any proper Collector's Edition, the bundle will include DLC packs that give players new in-game costumes, the game's original soundtrack, a Raccoon Police Department box packaging, and some R.P.D. Renovation Blueprints.

Take a look at all the features:

First off is the package itself, designed as a reproduction of the familiar item boxes that have shown up in various Resident Evil games over the years! Just like it protects your items in-game, it also protects the contents until you’re ready to put them to good use. So, what’s in the box?

• Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition
  • Full Game
  • Special Deluxe Packaging
  • Extra DLC Pack Card
    • Give Leon and Claire a new look or a blast from the past with unique costumes:
      • Leon Costume: “Arklay Sheriff”
      • Leon Costume: “Noir”
      • Claire Costume: “Military”
      • Claire Costume: “Noir”
      • Claire Costume: “Elza Walker”
  • Ensure the undead stay undead with a special weapon
    • Deluxe Weapon: “Samurai Edge – Albert Model”
  • And bring on the nostalgia with classic tunes:
    • “Original Version” Soundtrack Swap

• Leon S. Kennedy (R.P.D. Version) Figure
  • An expertly-crafted 12-inch figure of Leon on his first day in his new RPD police uniform, re-created to mirror his in-game design down to the smallest details. A must-have for any Resident Evil fan or collector!

• “Ben’s File” Art Book
  • A 32-page book left behind by Ben Bertolucci, a freelance journalist who makes an appearance in Resident Evil 2. This file contains photos and files documenting events after the Raccoon City tragedy, and was filed away as a highly confidential document by the U.S. government. It's never been seen by the public… until now.

• Digital Soundtrack
  • A voucher code for a 25-track album featuring new songs from the remake of Resident Evil 2, as well as a selection of arrangements from the original game.

• “R.P.D.” Renovation Design Poster
  • A diagram reminiscent of blueprints, this poster illustrates how the building was renovated and transformed from a museum to a police facility when work was being done on the  building in 1969.

The genre-defining masterpiece Resident Evil 2 returns, completely re-built from the ground up for a deeper narrative experience. Using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, Resident Evil 2 offers a fresh take on the classic survival horror saga with breathtakingly realistic visuals, heart-poundingly immersive audio, a new over-the-shoulder camera, and modernized controls on top of gameplay modes from the original game.
