Resident Evil: Revelations & Circle Pad Pro accessory bundle dated for Europe

Capcom has today revealed that Resident Evil: Revelations for the 3DS will be available to players across Europe on 27th January 2012, as either a stand alone game or as a special limited edition bundle which includes the new Circle Pad Pro accessory.

The Circle Pad Pro accessory (pictured above) allows players to add a fourth control scheme to their 3DS with an additional thumbstick, turning the 3DS into a traditional 'twin-stick shooter'.

Billed by Capcom as a full entry to the Resident Evil series, Revelations uncovers truths from the storyline between Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5 with the return of the series favourite characters, Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield plus new BSAA members and head of the BSAA Clive R. O’#Brian and mysterious agent Raymond Vester.

Separate to the main campaign story, Revelations also features a brand new Raid Mode which can be played in either single player or two player co-op as Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield. Gamers compete in a variety of missions to defeat enemies and level up your character and gain more powerful weapons.
