Resident Evil 2 Remake
Released in 2019, Resident Evil 2 completely reimagined Capcom’s 1998 survival horror classic. Rather than simply reproducing the original game with updated graphics, the remake rebuilt Raccoon City, its characters and environments from the ground up using Capcom’s RE Engine.
The story takes place two months after the events of the original Resident Evil. Raccoon City has been devastated by the T-virus outbreak, leaving the city’s streets overrun with the undead and other biological threats. Leon S. Kennedy arrives in the city for what should have been his first day as a rookie police officer. Instead, he finds the Raccoon City Police Department overwhelmed by the outbreak. At the same time, Claire Redfield arrives searching for her missing brother Chris, who has disappeared following the events at the Spencer Mansion.
Their stories eventually intersect, but Leon and Claire each have their own campaigns and perspectives on the unfolding disaster. Together, their journeys reveal the wider story of the outbreak, Umbrella’s involvement and the horrors hidden beneath Raccoon City. Capcom’s official timeline identifies Leon, Claire, Ada and Sherry among the game’s central characters.
Back to Raccoon City
One of the defining features of Resident Evil 2 is its setting. The original game moved the series away from the isolated Spencer Mansion and into a city-wide outbreak, and the remake expands on that idea with a much more detailed and atmospheric version of Raccoon City. The Raccoon City Police Department is at the heart of the early game. The imposing building has been redesigned while retaining its recognisable identity, with its grand main hall, corridors, offices and surrounding areas becoming a labyrinth of puzzles, locked doors and hostile creatures. Capcom deliberately changed the layout of the station during development to preserve the sense of exploration and uncertainty, even for players who already knew the original game.
Beyond the police station, Leon and Claire explore other areas of the devastated city, eventually uncovering the underground facilities and secrets behind the outbreak.
The result is a version of Raccoon City that feels familiar to returning fans while remaining unpredictable.
Leon, Claire and the Nightmare Within
Resident Evil 2 Remake gives players two central perspectives on the outbreak. Leon S. Kennedy is a rookie police officer arriving in Raccoon City on his first day with the R.P.D. His story introduces players to the devastated city and puts him on a collision course with the increasingly dangerous forces behind the outbreak. Claire Redfield enters the city for a different reason. She is searching for her brother Chris, one of the original S.T.A.R.S. members, but quickly becomes caught up in the same nightmare as Leon.
Their separate campaigns allow the player to experience different parts of the story and encounter different characters and situations. Ada Wong becomes an important part of Leon’s journey, while Claire’s story brings her into contact with Sherry Birkin, a young girl caught in the middle of the outbreak.
The remake also reworks the relationships between its characters, with Capcom explaining that the development team wanted to deepen the narrative experience and strengthen the connections between Leon, Claire and the other characters.
A New Take on Survival Horror
Resident Evil 2 Remake modernised almost every aspect of the original game’s presentation and gameplay. The fixed camera perspective of the 1998 game was replaced with an over-the-shoulder viewpoint, bringing the player much closer to Leon and Claire and making the narrow corridors of the R.P.D. and other locations feel even more claustrophobic. Combat was also redesigned around the new perspective. Zombies react to individual shots with visible damage, while limited ammunition and restricted inventory space mean that simply fighting everything you encounter is rarely the safest option.
The remake also introduced new surprises for returning players. Familiar locations may look recognisable, but their layouts, puzzles and encounters can be different from the original. Capcom specifically described the remake as something designed to feel both nostalgic and new, rather than simply recreating the 1998 experience.
And then there is the Tyrant. The enormous, relentless creature known as Mr. X can pursue Leon or Claire through parts of the police station, turning previously familiar corridors into potential escape routes and forcing players to think carefully about when to fight and when to run.
A Modern Resident Evil Classic
Resident Evil 2 Remake successfully connects two eras of Resident Evil. It retains the characters, locations, themes and survival horror foundations of the 1998 original while rebuilding the experience around modern technology and presentation.
For long-time Resident Evil fans, it provides a fresh interpretation of one of the most important games in the series. For newcomers, it offers a modern way to experience Leon and Claire’s first major Resident Evil adventure.
Design & Style
This Resident Evil 2 Remake poster uses striking key art from Capcom’s 2019 reimagining as its main visual, giving the design an appropriately dark and atmospheric feel. The Resident Evil 2 title sits above the main artwork, while the upper information panel identifies Capcom as developer and publisher, Survival Horror as the genre and the game’s original launch platforms. Six square colour swatches are sampled directly from the main artwork, creating a visual link between the game’s key art and the surrounding information. Below the main image is a concise summary of Leon and Claire’s story alongside the original release date of 25 January 2019. PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC platform branding completes the design at the bottom, reflecting the platforms on which the remake originally launched.
The result is a clean gallery-style piece that combines recognisable Resident Evil artwork with the visual structure of a modern gaming print.
