Resident Evil: Revelations 2 has just received its first actual gameplay video, showing off not just the core premise, but also the two protagonists and the spooky prison they'll have to escape from, while fighting legions of new Afflicted monsters.

Resident Evil: Revelations came out a few years ago, and as opposed to the bigger Resident Evil 6, it managed to actually draw in fans of the series by focusing much more on atmosphere and survival horror rather than on action and set-piece moments.

As such, Capcom is now poised to debut Resident Evil: Revelations 2 early next year, confirming the first actual details yesterday about its story and the fact that it will be an episodic experience, with four chapters appearing in quick succession across four weeks.

Now, an actual gameplay video has been presented by Capcom, showing off the opening sequence of the game, in which protagonists Claire Redfield and Moira Burton are kidnapped and taken to a deserted prison that's filled with all sorts of zombie-like characters called Afflicted.

The two young women will have to escape by using all kinds of different methods, so expect plenty of intense moments in Revelations 2.

The game is set to launch at the beginning of next year for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
