When Capcom dropped the Resident Evil 2 Remake, fans were blown away by its chilling visuals, terrifying atmosphere, and tight survival horror gameplay. But beneath all the gore and grit, the developers slipped in some awesome Easter eggs — subtle nods, references, and hidden gems that only the most observant players will catch.
Let’s dive into the top 5 Easter eggs you’ll want to hunt down in Resident Evil 2 Remake.
🧟 Jill Valentine's Hidden letter .1
One of the coolest hidden details in the game is a note from Jill Valentine, found on a desk during Leon’s campaign. The message alludes to the events of Resident Evil 3, confirming that Jill is dealing with her own nightmare in Raccoon City at the same time.
“They blew up my apartment. I need to leave the city ASAP.”
This is Capcom’s subtle way of teasing the interconnected timelines of RE2 and RE3 — and fans loved it.
🧑✈️ 2. Brad Vicker as a zombie
Yes, that’s right — the S.T.A.R.S. pilot Brad Vickers makes a horrifying cameo. If you access the 4th Survivor Mode, you can find Brad transformed into a zombie near the front gates of the R.P.D.
It’s a chilling nod to his fate in the original timeline, and it rewards veteran players who know the lore.
🎶 3. Classic Save room music (with a twist)
Activate the Classic Soundtrack option (part of the Deluxe DLC), and you’ll be hit with instant nostalgia. The iconic save room music from the 1998 original makes a return — bringing comfort and dread in equal measure.
This small feature adds atmosphere and a warm nod to longtime fans of the franchise.
🕹️ 4. PS1 Characters Skin
You can unlock polygon-style skins for Leon and Claire, transforming them into their blocky PS1 versions. Seeing these retro characters in the beautifully reimagined world of R.P.D is both hilarious and heartwarming.
It's Capcom’s way of letting old-school fans feel right at home — while running from Mr. X in low-poly glory.
🐾 MR Raccoon Figurines, Collect them all ! 5

Scattered around the game are small Mr. Raccoon toys — a creepy collectible with in-game rewards. Shooting all of them not only unlocks trophies but also rewards players with bonus weapons.
They’re easy to miss, and they serve as a great distraction from the constant terror.
🧠 Conclusion
Resident Evil 2 Remake didn’t just revive a classic — it celebrated its legacy. From secret notes and retro outfits to nostalgic audio and hidden zombies, Capcom filled the game with love letters to fans who’ve been there since 1998.
Whether you're a newcomer or a series veteran, these Easter eggs show why RE2 Remake is more than just a remake — it’s a carefully crafted tribute.
