Revisit the events of Resident Evil: Chronicles in HD

Posted March 13, 2012 by Gabriel May in Announcements, PS3, PSN

Capcom have confirmed that they will be releasing Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection in June 2012 for the PlayStation 3.

The Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection will be a digital download and will be available in both Europe and North America. The collection will contain Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.

If you are unfamiliar with the games, here is a brief plot outline:

“Revisiting past plots from the series and exposing Umbrella Corporation’s actions, The Umbrella Chronicles features eight playable characters, including Rebecca Chambers, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine. As seen previously in the Nintendo Wii™ version the title also features a brand new chapter in Resident Evil history. The Darkside Chronicles plot takes players back to the story of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield trying to escape the nightmares of Raccoon City, whilst finally revealing the truth behind Leon and Krauser’s feud.”

If you just want to own only one of the titles for whatever reason, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles will each be available to purchase individually.

As expected players will be using the PlayStation Move:

“Remastered for the PlayStation®3 with stunning HD graphics and featuring PlayStation®Move compatibility, Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection will offer gamers the chance to relive the Resident Evil story so far. The intense shooter gameplay from both titles is back as players attempt to survive the horror alone or with a friend in co-op mode, earning trophies as they go. PlayStation®Move technology brings the action to life, with the player using the PlayStation®Move motion controller as their weapon. The title can also be enjoyed with the wireless controller, providing seamless gameplay without a PlayStation®Move motion control accessory.”

Here are some screenshots and a trailer to show how Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection is shaping up.
