Capcom's 'Resident Evil: Revelations'.

Capcom has revealed key details about the upcoming release of Resident Evil Revelations for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii U.

First off, the character Rachel will be joining Hunk as a brand new playable character in Raid Mode.  She made her debut in the 3DS release of Resident Evil Revelations.  Furthermore, two brand new enemies will be featured in the upcoming home versions of Resident Evil Revelations.  One of these new baddies is known as the Wall Blister, while the other one is being kept as a surprise by Capcom for players.  All the company is saying about the second new eneby is that it will appear only in Raid Mode and only if players have reached a certain level, though they won't reveal what level that is.

Wii U players will be able to take advantage of the unique features of that system with three different styles of play.  Using the screen on the GamePad players can quickly access their map and weapons, or switch the GamePad out for a Wii U pro controller.  Alternatively, players are able to transfer all the horror to the GamePad as the title utilizes Off TV play.

Also for Wii U players, the console's Miiverse feature will offer further exclusives.  Players can post a dying message on the Game Over screen for other players around the world to see and the 'Creatures Voice' function allows players to personalize the thoughts of enemies in Raid Mode to taunt their friends. 

Finally, Capcom has revealed that Resident Evil Revelations will support Residentevil.net with online events and in-game connectivity planned for after launch.  Exclusive dioramas of the game's characters and enemies can be collected through the online service and players can earn custom parts and weapons for use in Raid Mode and items for Campaign Mode. 

Resident Evil Revelations will be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii U across North America on May 21 and Europe on May 24.  The game carries an ESRB rating of "M for Mature".
