Resident Evil Revelations 2 trailer reveals Barry Burton

Barry Burton's back. The Resi 1 STARS operative makes a playable return in Resident Evil Revelations 2—as revealed in the game's new trailer.

Burton's a popular guy among the Resi fanbase, for reasons that this video should explain. Despite that, he's made surprisingly few appearances over the years.

Here he'll be back with a vengeance: one of the playable characters across the episodic series. He's confirmed to be searching for his daughter, Moira—seen with other playable character Claire Redfield in this first trailer.

Revelations 2 is due out early next year.

Phil has been writing for PC Gamer for nearly a decade, starting out as a freelance writer covering everything from free games to MMOs. He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
