After the success of Outbreak in Japan, Capcom announced a sequel in Fall 2004. The game takes place in zombie-infested Raccoon City with the same eight characters that were featured in its predecessor, along with five new scenarios.
Upon release, File #2 featured online multiplayer servers, but in March 2007 all servers were shut down. On January 1, 2014, alternate fan servers restored online play, along with new additions to the servers, such as ban lists and leaderboards.
