Resident Evil Revelations 2's First Episode Now Free on All Consoles

Resident Evil Revelations 2's first episode is now free across all console versions. The episode, called Penal Colony, was originally released in February 2015 and normally goes for $6.

In Penal Colony, Claire Redfield and Moira Burton are kidnapped. They wake up in a cell on a remote island that is of course infested with all manner of horrifying creatures. Penal Colony also comes with Raid Mode, an arcade-like variation on the core formula that sees players shooting down waves of enemies.

The PC edition of Penal Colony has not been discounted.

Penal Colony was followed by subsequent episodes titled Contemplation, Judgment, and Metamorphosis. These chapters are available for $6 each, while a variety of "Extra" episodes are also available for $5.

GameSpot's Penal Colony review scored the game a 7/10.

"With tastes of both classic and modern Resident Evil, Revelations 2 has something for everyone, but it would be served better if it was a little more focused and had a little less Moira," critic Peter Brown wrote.
