Resident Evil: Revelations has been exclusively developed to take advantage of the 3DS's capabilities, as opposed to Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D reworking of old material on the new system.
Revelations is set between the events of Resident Evil 4 (Wii) and Resident Evil 5 (360) and sees Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield investigate a deadly threat on board a stranded cruise liner. The pair fight for survival as they explore the dark and claustrophobic environments both at sea and on dry land.
It promises a return to the classic Resident Evil style of puzzles and exploration rather than the action oriented approach of more recent titles. This may well be a step towards engaging the more casual market of the 3DS, but still grates against talk of using the 3D engine to generate fear in the player.
The success of Revelations will rest on its ability to engage existing fans of the series and newcomers. It hopes to do this with a narrative designed to be approachable by both groups of gamers, and controls that are flexible rather than restrictive as in previous games.
Resident Evil: Revelations doesn't have a firm release date and is likely to be late 2011 at the earliest.
