Resident Evil: Revelations 2, the upcoming, episodic return to Capcom’s long-running survival horror series, debuts its first episode on February 25, one week later than its originally announced release on February 17. Capcom attributes the delay to a need for “additional polishing work and gameplay optimisation.”

Episodes 2 through 4 will come out on a weekly basis, arriving on March 4, 11, and 18. A full, collected retail release will then follow on March 20. The game will be available on PlayStation and Xbox consoles and Windows. In the meantime, an HD remaster of the original Resident Evil will arrive on those same platforms on January 20.

The game opens with Claire and Moira being kidnapped and taken to a mysterious island detention facility, infested with horrible creatures called Afflicted–a zombie by any other name would smell as putrid.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 intentionally gives players a hard time.

To create a gameplay loop that can produce a lot of unforgettable, organic moments, Capcom crafted many friction-filled systems for players to go up against. If players don’t equip themselves properly, have the right party composition between them and their pawns, or stray too far off the path they set for themselves, it’s possible for some ambush, giant monster, or another unintentional mishap to ruin a perfectly good quest.
