Resident Evil 2[a] is a 2019 survival horror game developed and
published by Capcom. A remake of the 1998 game of the same name, it was
released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on January
25, 2019. Players control rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy and
college student Claire Redfield as they attempt to escape Raccoon City
during a zombie outbreak.

Capcom first considered remaking Resident Evil 2 following the release
of the remake of the first Resident Evil in 2002, but was delayed as
series creator Shinji Mikami did not want to divert development from the
then-upcoming Resident Evil 4 (2005). Capcom announced the Resident
Evil 2 remake in August 2015 and released the first trailer and gameplay
footage at E3 2018


resident Evil 2 is a remake of the 1998 game of the same name. Unlike
the original, which uses tank controls and fixed camera angles, the
remake features "over-the-shoulder" third-person shooter gameplay
similar to Resident Evil 4 and more recent games in the series that
allows players the option to move while using their weapons similar to
Resident Evil 6.[1]

The assisted and standard difficulty modes deviate from the original by
featuring autosaves and allowing players to save as often as they would
like inside safe rooms. If the player chooses to play on "Hardcore"
difficulty, players will be required to collect and use a finite number
of ink ribbons to save the game's progress, much like in the original
game.
