Are We Getting a Resident Evil 2 Treat for Halloween?

Strap in folks, we’re about to go on a journey of hype and speculation, powered by the combined spooky forces of Resident Evil 2, Capcom, and Halloween. The publisher is being goofy on social media, and as a result, the Resident Evil fanbase is shrieking about a demo. While that’s a lofty expectation, it seems like something is happening tomorrow, regardless of what it ends up being.

Luckily, Halloween is tomorrow, so the wait won’t be so tortuous.
