Resident Evil Revelations 2 news was just confirmed by a leaked issue of Gamesmaster magazine.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 news is confirmed, with plenty of details thrown in. The news came from a leaked issue of Gamesmaster magazine, with screenshots of the game now circulating around the rumor mill.

Gamesmaster magazine sat down with the game's producer Michiteru Okabe to confirm a few rumors, and there's more details revealed than what was bargained for. Resident Evil fans have first glimpse on a new RE game, two months before the official reveal.

Claire Redfield makes a comeback in Resident Evil Revelations 2, and will be the playable lead. Okabe confirms Claire has evidently docked plenty of time dealing with the Umbrella Corporation in the game. "In the time since we last saw her, she's grown to be a seasoned veteran."

Claire will go through the game with a sidekick of sorts, similar to Sheva with Chris in Resident Evil 5. Moira Burton, the daughter of Barry Burton, will primarily serve as a assistant to Claire throughout the campaign.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 news also confirms the co-op feature remains in play, apart from the single-player (tagalong) default. Claire's style lies heavily on combat, with Moira supplying needs like herbs, flashlight and equipment.

Working as a pair, only Claire's death will end the game; Moira will be close by her side, keeping her alive; Moira heals herself automatically.

The game is set in an abandoned island facility, and is a precursor to Resident Evil 6.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 happens between Resident Evil 5 and 6, but, fortunately for many fans, will return to the survival horror genre. The general sentiment against RE 5 was its departure from the genre, shifting towards action and killing the suspense started by the first Resident Evil in the franchise.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 news also confirms a 2015 release, with specs maximized for the next-generation of consoles, running at 1080p and 60fps (source: push-start.co.uk).
