Resident Evil 2

Resident Evil 2 is a 1998 survival horror game developed by Capcom Production Studio 4 and published by Virgin Interactive. Players control rookie cop Leon Kennedy and student Claire Redfield as they escape a zombie-infested Raccoon City, each following distinct storylines with different weapons and encounters. PAL collectors will find ten catalogued variants across the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, with each territory having its own serial number. Both original and Platinum re-releases are catalogued for all five territories. Original pressings carry a Hologram A on the case, while Platinum editions carry Hologram B. All releases are housed in Full Jewel PAL cases with two discs. The earliest PAL release is dated 8 May 1998. The UK original and German original pressings are documented with loose paperwork including Virgin Interactive registration materials. Of particular collector note, research confirms the German original variant features NTSC cover art rather than the standard PAL artwork.
