Summary
Capcom has released a brand-new update for theResident Evil 2remake four years after the game first released. With the originalResident Evil 2often pointed to as one of the best games in Capcom’s popular survival-horror franchise, it made sense that a lot of fans were asking for the game to get a proper remake like the firstResident Evildid. Unfortunately,Resident Evilfans had to wait over two decades to get their hands on theResident Evil 2remake.
The wait for theResident Evil 2remake was a long one, but many would agree that it was worth it. TheResident Evil 2remake earned widespread critical acclaimat the time of its release, with praise for its graphics, polish, replay value, and the intimidating presence of the Mr. X tyrant. While theResident Evil 2remake was a complete experience out of the box, Capcom released updates for it post-launch to address bugs and in some cases even add new content.

The latest update for theResident Evil 2remake isn’t all that exciting, but it does show Capcom’s commitment to the game. The latestResident Evil 2remake update is specifically for the Steam and PS5/Xbox Series X versions of the game. On Steam, Latin American Spanish has been added as a display language, and Capcom also fixed someResident Evil 2remake achievementsthat weren’t displaying properly in some languages. Other bugs and issues were also addressed. The patch notes are virtually identical for the PS5/Xbox Series X versions of theResident Evil 2remake, though those versions of the game didn’t have the achievement language problems.
Capcom may be done releasing substantial new content for theResident Evil 2remake, but fans of the franchise should still have a lot to look forward to in the near future. While official plans haven’t been announced, leaks have suggested that Capcom is preparing a big update for theResident Evil 4remake that would add thebonus Separate Ways campaignto the game. It’s unclear at this time if such an update would be free, or if the plan is to add the Separate Ways campaign as paid DLC.
