Reason

With the latest technology by the in-house developed game engine “RE ENGINE,” the “Behind View,” or over-the-shoulder view of the main character, is used in this game. It is an excellent “survival horror entertainment” game with horrifying zombies approaching with a horrifyingly vivid and realistic effect and with human drama in the extreme state. Many fans said “This is a real Biohazard” and “The latest game exceeds the original.” That is why this game was awarded.

Work Introdution

“Don’t be depressed with this tragedy.”

A work that has been reconsidered and reconstructed in the current development environment to produce a suitable game in 2019 based on “Resident Evil 2,” one of the most popular in the series released in 1998. With new creativity infused into the latest technology by the in-house developed game engine “RE ENGINE,” this game uses a camera view called the Behind View (third person), allowing the player to experience an excellent “survival horror entertainment” with the vivid and realistic battle as well as human drama in the extreme state.

Not only players who have not experienced the series before but also those who have played the original version should play this game. Overcome this fear of being eaten and survive from Raccoon City on the brink of collapse.

Comment of the game producer

This time, we are really honored to be selected for the “Japan Game Award for Excellence.”
All of our team staffs are very glad to win such an award.

We didn’t think “BIOHAZARD RE:2” would be just a remake but reconsidered interests, horrors, and what a survival horror is and reconstructed everything as if it were the series latest work.

“Resident Evil 2”released in 1998 was already popular. We were a little anxious how fans evaluate this reconstructed work, but actually, we felt this game was accepted by everyone as the game got many votes.

Thank you very much.
