After Capcom did not add the offline/local Co-op mode for the campaign and Raid mode on the PC version of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, saying it was excluded due to 'quality concerns', there was extreme negative feedback regarding this, especially due to the fact the game's description on Steam was not clear enough and led many customers to believe that the offline/local Co-op mode will be included in the PC version of the game just as it was on the console versions.
It got the point that a PC modder called 'FluffyQuack' took the matter in his own hands and created a working and playable offline/local Co-op campaign mod for the game.
However, after the negative feedback and the incident with the customers angered over the misleading Steam description, and possibly, the fact that a PC modder ended up making it in the game himself, Capcom has now officially stated on Steam that they will be adding the offline/local Co-op mode for the story campaign and Raid modes on the PC version of Resident Evil: Revelations 2.
The statement says:
Hello RE fans,
Following Resident Evil Revelations 2 PC player feedback, we've got some new information to share. The development team has been exploring various options and we're in the process of creating a way for players to utilize a local co-op feature Soon we plan to release a beta branch on Steam which will allow two players to play the Story and Raid modes locally via a split screen. We want to get this feature in the hands of our PC players as soon as possible, so this option may not be 100% polished when it is released. Feedback from those who try it out is welcomed. For anyone who isn't satisfied with this option, refunds are available through Steam.
As mentioned in the statement, Capcom is adding the local/offline co-op mode for both the story campaign and Raid mode back into the PC version of the game, but have stated that it will not be '100% polished' right on release and it will be available through beta, requiring feedback from those who try it out. However, Capcom is also offering refunds through Steam for those who are still not satisfied with how things turned out.
Capcom has released instructions for those who want to join the beta local/offline Co-op program, which can be accessed 'here'.
