Resident Evil 2 Remake Release Date and Trailer Revealed

The Resident Evil 2 Remake at long last has a new trailer and a release date with the iconic horror game due out on January 25, 2019.

Capcom's acclaimed Resident Evil 2 Remake has been teased for a while now with everyone looking for any details they could find on gameplay, release date, and more. From what was shown during PlayStation's E3 conference, the game looks like it's making a stunning return with updated graphics and zombies that are still more brutal than ever.

There was some speculation that the game would be out in October, but it looks like those guesses were proven false now that the game has officially been revealed for a 2019 release date. It's still not too much longer than what was originally expected, but for those who have been waiting on Resident Evil 2 Remake for a while now, a few more months shouldn't hurt.

Resident Evil 2 was first released way back on January 21, 1998, so the release month certainly makes sense. It features the iconic characters Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, both of which make a triumphant return in the remake.
