RE Engine Port Features and Content Bundles
Built using Capcom’s proprietary RE ENGINE, these iterations adapt the core frameworks of the original releases into over-the-shoulder perspectives. The RE:2 package features protagonist Leon S. Kennedy alongside Claire Redfield amidst a biohazard outbreak in Raccoon City, bundling extra costumes like the “Arklay Sheriff” and “Noir” skins alongside multiple models of the Samurai Edge special weapon.
The RE:3 release centers on S.T.A.R.S. survivor Jill Valentine as she navigates the collapsing city scape while evading the persistent bioweapon Nemesis. Meanwhile, Resident Evil RE:4 Gold Edition picks up six years post-incident with government agent Leon S. Kennedy on a rescue mission, packing in the Separate Ways campaign, The Mercenaries extra mode, and various cosmetic packs and weapon addons.
