Eye-poppin’ deals! (Not really.)
On February 25, 2015 Capcom will release Resident Evil Revelations 2 for PC in episodic format along with two editions (just to spice up the confusion level).
On Steam, there’s “The Complete Season” for $24.99, and then a version just labeled Resident Evil Revelations 2 for $39.99.
When you think of a “Complete” version you think you’d get more content… but the opposite is true in this situation. The $39.99 version could more accurately be labeled as the the actual Complete Edition (vs. Season), as it comes with all the DLC extras not included in the Complete Season edition. (More on this below).
In terms of deals, we’ve found two retailers with decent prices for the PC version. Over at GMG, the $39.99 Resident Evil Revelations 2 is only $29.99 in its VIP Gaming sale — just login or create an account on this page to see the discount and proceed to checkout. The cheaper “Complete Season” is only $19.50 after a 22% off coupon at GMG. Also available is a 20% discount from DLGamer, another authorized retailer.
Update 2/24/15: A new 25% coupon at GMG is available for 24 hours only. See details below:

Editions Breakdown:
The two edition differences mainly have to do with “Raid Mode” DLC content. Both editions for sale include the entire four episodes of the game (which release about a week apart from each other) and two additional bonus episodes. Both editions will get you the bonus character: HUNK.
The Resident Evil Revelations 2 “Complete Edition” for $39.99 gets you three additional DLCs.
- In addition to HUNK, you’ll also be able to play as Wesker in Raid Mode.
- You get the “Raid Mode Throwback Map Pack” which includes throwback maps from recent Resident Evil games (I’d expect some of the Revelations 1 maps in this).
- A Raid Mode character costume pack.
Note: If you pre-order the “Complete Season” edition of the game you’ll also get the “Throwback Map Pack,” making the difference between the two editions even less.
