Resident Evil Online 2 Announced

Thanks much to forums member ZombieEater for this information:

Capcom has released new details on its latest online action adventure game Biohazard Outbreak File 2 (Resident Evil Outbreak File 2). The story takes place in other parts of the Racoon city, where the 8 characters from the first game continue their journey to escape.

The first scenario takes place around a zoo, zombies appear during an Elephant show, and the zoo is now deserted. The elephant and other animals were infected by the deadly virus and rampaging in the zoo.

Biohazard Outbreak File 2 is scheduled for a Fall 2004 release in Japan, the game will correspond to the PS2 Network Adapter and Broadband Unit.

I’ve added Resident Evil Outbreak 2 to the database, along with the screens I’ve been able to find. More information is available at Polygon Magazine and The MagicBox.
