Capcom has gone on to announce that two of its Wii exclusive RE titles will soon be making their way onto PSN in the form of the Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection. Coming this June, this collection will feature digital downloads of RE: The Umbrella Chronicles and RE: The Darkside Chronicles, both of which would be compatible with the PS Move.
According to the official PlayStation blog, these games have been re-mastered to be rendered in HD. Moreover, they will even come with trophy support. The shooter gameplay from both the offerings will be available to play, both alone as well as with a friend in co-op mode. The PS Move motion controller will be usable as a weapon, but the titles will also be playable with DualShock controllers.
Mike Lunn, Product Manager, Capcom, wrote on the blog, “Take aim and relive Resident Evil history with the upcoming Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection! This two game bundle features both Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles in glorious high definition with PlayStation Move and trophy support. Play with a friend and survive the horrors of Resident Evil 0, 1, 2, 3, Code Veronica, and more!”
RE: The Umbrella Chronicles includes a total of eight playable characters, covering Rebecca Chambers, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, while on the other hand, RE: The Darkside Chronicles features a narrative which takes gamers back to the story of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, who’re trying to escape Raccoon City. This title was also instrumental in revealing the reason behind Leon and Krauser’s enmity.
The Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection will be released as a bundle through the European as well as North American PSN during June, 2012. Both games will be made available to purchase individually on later dates.
