Developer Capcom will tease Resident Evil fans with a TV-like weekly release schedule for its forthcoming survival-horror title Resident Evil: Revelations 2.

The game will debut in early 2015 in four weekly, downloadable installments. Each episode will cost $5.99, and a season pass for all four will run you $24.99. Buying it digitally will save you $15 over getting the disc-based version, which currently has no release date.

The developer says that buying the season pass or the retail disc will unlock bonus content, but it hasn’t provided any specifics yet.

This game is a sequel to the generally well-received 3DS title from 2012, Resident Evil: Revelations, which Capcom later ported to Wii U, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. Interestingly, it isn’t showing any Nintendo love this time around, with this entry only hitting PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.

Revelations 2 stars series stalwart Claire Redfield alongside newcomer Moira Burton, the daughter of Barry Burton from the first-ever Resident Evil title. Barry was a bit of a liability, so here’s hoping Moira doesn’t take after her dad.

Capcom has released the project’s first gameplay trailer today. You can check it out below.
