In a recent interview with Gamespot, Resident Evil Revelations 2 producer Michiteru Okabe shared some new information about the upcoming sequel.
First off, Raid Mode has been confirmed as making a return. The mode was extremely addicting in the first Revelations game and proved to be a worthy evolution of what the series’ Mercenaries mode offered. So it’s definitely nice to see it coming back here! However, it wasn’t confirmed if this was one of the bonus modes that would be exclusive to season pass holders or the retail copy of the game.
Okabe then went on to reveal that fans will see some familiar faces returning in the game:
“Without getting into specifics, I can say that one of the driving philosophies behind Revelations 2 is to deliver to the fans things that we think they’re interested in. You will almost certainly see some familiar faces, but I don’t want to get into the specifics.”
As of right now, Barry is a safe bet and I would totally be shocked if he didn’t end up being in the game. I also think he’ll get his own playable scenario. Who else could be in the game? And could these returning faces actually play a role in the story or will they be reserved for Raid Mode? We’ll have to wait and see!
