RAW JAPAN Comment
Raccoon City returns.
The legendary survival horror series that redefined the genre is entering a new chapter.
And this time, it’s not just about photorealism—
it’s about emotional realism that gets under your skin and stays with you.
For the record, I’m one of those people who spilled their Coke during that infamous dog-window scene in the original game.
Can’t wait to head back to Raccoon City!
