Capcom recently confirmed that Resident Evil Revelations will release at retail for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Windows PC and Nintendo’s Wii U console on May 24th 2013. The title will also be available to download digitally from the same dates on PlayStation 3 and Windows PC with details on digital versions for Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii U console to follow.

Complete with HD visuals, enhanced lighting effects and an immersive sound experience, the fear that was originally brought to players in Resident Evil Revelations on the Nintendo 3DS system returns redefined for home consoles.

The console version will deliver additional content including a terrifying new enemy, extra difficulty mode and improvements to Raid Mode such as new weapons, skill sets and the opportunity to play as Hunk and other characters from the series. Raid Mode, which was first introduced to the series in the original version of Resident Evil Revelations, sees gamers play online in co-op mode or alone in single player, taking on the hordes of enemies across a variety of missions whilst levelling up characters and earning weapon upgrades.
