When it comes to survival horror there is one franchise that has reigned supreme ever since its first appearance. You probably don’t even need me to spell it out for you it’s that obvious. Yep you guessed it, that franchise is of course, Resident Evil. Recently Capcom released a remastered version of the classic Resident Evil on to Xbox One and PS4. Now we see a new entry in the series with Resident Evil Revelations 2, a sequel to the original Revelations.
With series staple Mercenaries Mode returning to the Resident Evil 4 Remake, it’s time to remind fans of another mostly forgotten mode from the RE series. Reaching the second chapter in the 2012 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations unlocked something called Raid Mode for players to enjoy. Unlike Mercenaries, Raid Mode is not a time-attack mode and instead operates as a more RPG-lite version of the main game. While players are expected to try and hammer down on a handful of levels in Mercenaries, Raid Mode gives players a much more expansive game type to play around with.
This mode was included in ports released on the seventh and eighth generations of consoles and was part of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, which was released in 2015. However, the Revelations duology is the only time that Raid Mode has existed in the massive Resident Evil franchise, and that should change in some future release.
I'd like to raid mode make a return in the future. When Capcom was hacked there was a as of yet announced RE game in there that I was hoping might turn into Revelations 3. There were also reports that whatever that RE game was scrapped and cancelled.
The Switch has been out for a few years now with a large library. Check out the games with the biggest file sizes as of January 2021.

"play co-op on your own"
That statement is an oxymoron.
Also this article was posted on March 28th (today) and Raid Mode has been in the game for a while now.
Sorry Resident Evil: Revelations, but Revelations 2 is just way more awesome than you.
