When Capcom released the very first Resident Evil game, better known as Biohazard in Japan, it had English voiceovers and Japanese subtitles. Future releases kept the trend and Resident Evil: Revelations will buck it.
The Nintendo 3DS game will have Japanese voiceovers. Hiroki Tochi who voices Nathan Drake in the Japanese language version of Uncharted plays Chris Redfield. Atsuko Yuya who dubbed Jill Valentine’s lines in Resident Evil: Apocalypse reprises her role for Revelations.
Want to keep the original flavor? Resident Evil: Revelations has an option for English voiceovers and Japanese subtitles. While this feature is in the Japanese release, Capcom have only confirmed voice tracks in five different European languages for the US and European versions.
Resident Evil: Revelations releases on January 26 in Japan and February 7 in North America.
