In a promising kickoff to the gaming year, January's Sony Group Corp.'s (NYSE: SONY) PlayStation Plus lineup brings an eclectic mix of titles, catering to the diverse tastes of subscribers.
Capcom ADR's (OTC: CCOEY) "Resident Evil 2 remake," released in 2019, headlines this month's PlayStation Plus offerings, available for download starting Jan. 16.
The game — a reimagining of the 1998 classic — introduces modern graphics, a new camera perspective, and resurrects iconic horror protagonists Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield.
Described as a visceral, bloody, and rewarding experience, the remake is praised for delivering some of the franchise's best moments.
