Today, during Sony’s Pre-Tokyo Game Show presentation, Masachika Kawata, the producer of Resident Evil: Revelations, announced some very exciting regarding the Resident Evil franchise. Following a leak on Xbox.com for Resident Evil: Revelations 2 last month, Kawata-San officially revealed, with a short teaser trailer, that the sequel is, indeed, real and will be coming in Early 2015 in Japan. Revelations 2 will not feature Jill Valentine or Chris Redfield, the first installment’s protagonists, as it will be set in a brand new setting. Unfortunately, Kawata-San did not mention the systems on which this title will be released on or a release window for Western territories.
