Resident Evil: Revelations 2 now officially supports split-screen local co-op in both campaign and raid mode. Granted, this may be a case of the left hand not communicating with the right hand, but when either hand is taking money from people it seems reasonable to expect the basic facts to be correct.Following fan outrage over lack of local co-op support for the PC version of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, Capcom has now added it. It's a twist on the usual preorder bonuses, being a form of preorder penalty, and there's no trace of an apology in Capcom's statement. Raid mode will support online co-op shortly after launch when a free patch is available for players to download which adds this feature, but the main campaign on PC will only be available to play in single local screen.Ĭapcom are probably attempting to have the Store page updated (again) as soon as possible but anyone who preordered hoping to play with a chum is plumb out of luck. The second part of Capcom's statement appears to put the kibosh on any possible future integration of offline co-op. The PC version does not support offline co-op play in the Campaign or Raid Mode."Ĭonsidering that those are the only modes in the game ( unless there's another mode hiding from me), it seems odd to mention offline co-op on the page at all. PCs have too many graphics to support splitscreen.Ī footnote has been added to the Steam page: The decision to prioritise a single local screen was made to ensure a stable user experience across a variety of different PC settings and devices. The PC version of Resident Evil Revelations 2 supports a variety of customisable visual settings and resolutions.

But the game, now released, doesn't support local co-op and, according to a statement Capcom have made to VgG24/7, it probably never will. The Steam Store page for Resident Evil Revelations 2 has listed offline co-op as a feature since preorders began and continues to do so at the time of writing.
