Resident Evil Revelations 2 seemingly leaked on Xbox.com

By Will Fulton Published August 20, 2014

French website Gamer in a Box uncovered two box art images for Resident Evil: Revelations 2 being hosted on Xbox.com, which seems to reveal that Capcom plans to continue the offshoot survival horror saga that struggled to find traction on Nintendo 3DS, but gained some much deserved recognition in an HD remake for meatier platforms the following year.

The environmental shot (above) shows what appears to be a dilapidated prison block, which is as fitting a setting as any for a Resident Evil game. The box cover art, pictured below, uses the Japanese series name, BioHazard, and is reminiscent of the prior game’s 3DS box art. It even spells everything correctly!

IGN reached out to Capcom for confirmation, but a spokesman only confirmed that the publisher “has made no announcements.”

Many saw the original Revelations as a return to form for the Resident Evil series, which had grown extremely action-oriented. Revelations returned to the series roots of creeping horror and anxious exploration, broken into TV-style episodes to create digestible chunks for mobile play.

We will keep you posted as more information comes to light.

Resident Evil 4, Death Stranding barely miss a step on iPhone and iPad

El Gigante raises its foot over Leon in Resident Evil 4.

Just two months ago, I had my mind blown when I saw Resident Evil Village running on an iPad. While I expected a very compromised experience, I was shocked when I saw how the horror game barely lost a step on the device. I pushed its settings to their limits and still came out with a fairly smooth experience capable of hitting high frame rates. Suddenly, the idea of playing a console quality game entirely on a mobile device didn’t seem like a far-fetched idea.

That was an impressive feat, but Resident Evil Village was built for the PS4 generation. The bigger test would come from more technically ambitious games that are either exclusive to new consoles or rebuilt with them in mind. I wouldn’t have to wait long to see that in action. At a recent Apple gaming showcase, I went hands-on with both Death Stranding: Director’s Cut and Resident Evil 4 running on a bevy of Apple devices, from the iPhone 15 Pro to a Mac Mini.

Why do we love horror games? Psychologists explain our morbid curiosity

Leon facing El Gigante in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

True horror is something no human wants to experience. Few would actively want to throw themselves in a powerless position against some life-threatening situation or fearsome creature. Isn’t it much easier to watch these things through the TV screen with scary movies or auditory creepypastas? It's through that outside curiosity that humanity has created so many ways to witness nightmares without having to really put ourselves through actual hell. And one of those ways is through video games, one of the most interactive and immersive ways to take terror trips in a much safer way.

Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways DLC: where to find the Lord of the Waterway in Chapter 5

Ada Wong points a gun

As you make your way through Resident Evil 4's Separate Ways DLC, you'll occasionally come across some blue notes stapled to the wall near merchant locations. These offer you unique merchant requests for the area that can be completed and turned in to earn Spinels for buying useful items. When you find yourself in Gregorio's Waterway in Chapter 5, you'll stumble upon one of these merchant requests asking you to track down, eliminate, and then sell the Lord of the Waterway. Here's where to reel in this big fish.
Where to find the Lord of the Waterway in Chapter 5
After picking up the merchant request, continue through the linear pathway until you come across a wheel you can turn that will lower the water in the area. Return to the merchant's room, where you'll find you can now descend a ladder into the remaining knee-deep water.

From where you land, take the left path through the destroyed wall and kill any bugs that get in your way. Take another left directly after and make your way around the pillar in the center of this next segment of the room. When you reach the back wall, you'll be able to crouch and pass through the tight opening here. Directly after exiting on the other side, you should notice a large fish in the water ahead of you – this is the Lord of the Waterway. Kill it, then loot its corpse.
