"The date was wrong, Claire"

Capcom has put a bullet in the cranium of rumours regarding Resident Evil: Revelations 2’s release date. Speculation caused by a PlayStation 4 pre-order page on the PlayStation Store overnight prompted dozens of publications to report that the episodic survival horror spin-off will start in February, but the Japanese company has since stressed that this isn’t the case.

“The release date that you're seeing listed on the PlayStation Store is merely a placeholder date – these are required for digital pre-orders,” a spokesperson said. “The game will launch via weekly episodes in early 2015.” One thing that has been confirmed is the inclusion of the ‘Throwback Stage Pack’ for the release’s arcade-esque Raid mode, which will be an exclusive on PlayStation platforms.
