For the original PlayStation game and its ports, see Resident Evil 2 (1998 game).

Resident Evil 2, also known as BIOHAZARD RE:2 (バイオハザード RE:2?) in Japan, is a Survival Horror game developed by Capcom's R&D Division 1 studio. It is a remake of 1998's Resident Evil 2,[1] described by Capcom as a "reimagining" and first announced on 12 August 2015 by Yoshiaki Hirabayashi and released wordwide on 25 January 2019 for the PlayStation, Xbox One and Windows operating systems.[2]

Unlike the 2002 Resident Evil remake, Resident Evil 2 was not developed with the intent of improving the original. Rather than improving the visuals and polishing the same script, this game is instead more a "reimagining" of the original story, with redesigned maps, characters and story elements.

Gameplay mechanics are more similar to 2017's Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, which also used the RE Engine, though with the use of an over-the-shoulder camera. Like that game, the Japanese version was subject to unique censoring to remove the more gory sequences.

Resident Evil 2 is the first entry in the series to receive a Chinese-language Dub. It is also the first entry to credit all of the different language voice casts.

As of June 22 of 2024, Resident Evil 2 Remake officially sold 13.9 million copies since its release, which makes it the highest selling game in the series, surpassing Resident Evil 5.
