WithResident Evil 2fans now having a confirmedrelease datefor Capcom’s forthcoming remake project of the second installment in the storied survival-horror franchise, it’s safe to say that plenty are willing to reserve a copy of the title as fast as possible. As it so happens, fans can pre-order the title on Amazon now for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which will net players exclusive in-game weapons.
As seen in the tweet below from the prolific Twitter user known as Wario64, those who pre-orderResident Evil 2will receive the two bonus weapons of S.T.A.R.S. members' Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine’s signature Samurai Edge handguns. These firearms will presumably be able for use for both the returning protagonists of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield.
At this point, there’s no telling if those who pre-orderResident Evil 2will get the items on day one or at a later date, especially since the game was just recently unveiled to the public duringSony’s E3 2018 press conference. In fact, there could be even more pre-order goodies announced at some point in the near future that take precedence over Chris and Jill’s guns. Then again, this is just speculation at the moment.
Bearing everything announced thus far in mind, the mere fact thatResident Evil 2gameplay was shown tonight was exciting enough for many to lay down their money for a copy of the game right now. Of course, there will surely be plenty of others waiting until all the facts arrive before pre-ordering. For instance, some fans have said they would need to see how well Capcom incorporates the remake’s change toan over-the-shoulder camera viewfrom a fixed-point perspective. But as E3 presses on, perhaps we will learn more about the newRE2that will please most, if not all fans.
Resident Evil 2is scheduled to release on August 13, 2025 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
