The plot of the game takes us back to 1998, in the fictional Racoon City, two months after the Zombie Apocalypse (as it occurred in the prequel Resident Evil, 1996).

At a gas station outside the city, Leon and Claire, two survivors of the apocalypse, try to unite their purposes and escape from the zombies and monsters created by the laboratory T-Virus of the evil pharmaceutical company Umbrella.

The rookie police officer and the student, after escaping from the gas station, set the city's police station as their meeting point, unaware that it has become a den of zombies. Arriving there at different times, the zombies prevent them from meeting, and thus begins to unfold the thread of a particularly terrifying and chilling story, different for each of the two protagonists.

With over 3 million sales in just the first week of release, the game promises great thrills and brings back memories of our childhood when the first title was initially released, as it is a remake of the now-classic Resident Evil 2 for PS1 (1998).
