Today, during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Capcom showcased some juicy assets and information for fans of the upcoming Resident Evil 2 remake.

You can check out all the slides at the bottom of the post, courtesy of Twitter user Matangi, alongside official assets from the PlayStation Blog.

We get to see plenty of artwork for both Leon and Claire, and interestingly both characters and their clothes were designed for the remake thanks to extensive use of photogrammetry (this appears to be something in common with Devil May Cry 5).

The team wanted to give Leon a younger look in order to make him appear like he's on his first day on the job. For Claire, they opted with a look resembling the iconic scene in which she enters Raccoon city on her bike.

Thanks to the RE Engine they managed to make Raccoon City itself wet and dark, which are concepts that also extend to the zombies.

The official box art, which was also revealed today, puts together Leon, Claire, Wetness & Darkness, zombies, gore, the police department, and aimed to look both nostalgic and new.

The standard game will cost $59.99, while a Deluxe Edition is priced at $69.99 including the following:

  • Leon Costume: “Arklay Sheriff”
  • Leon Costume: “Noir”
  • Claire Costume: “Military”
  • Claire Costume: “Noir”
  • Claire Costume: “Elza Walker”
  • Deluxe Weapon: “Samurai Edge – Albert Model”
