I was on the fence of pre-ordering Resident Evil: Revelations 2 to play coop with some of my friends, guess I won't be doing that anymore as Capcom decided to remove the local coop from the PC version specifically.
From the Steam page:
To make matters even more confusing, this still exists on the Steam page:
It's insulting how Capcom continues to mock PC gamers with inferior versions of their games, but this scammy last minute behavior has taken them to a whole new level.
Update 1:
Capcom Official statement,
The PC version of Resident Evil Revelations 2 supports a variety of customisable visual settings and resolutions. The decision to prioritise a single local screen was made to ensure a stable user experience across a variety of different PC settings and devices.
Raid mode will support online co-op shortly after launch when a free patch is available for players to download which adds this feature, but the main campaign on PC will only be available to play in single local screen.

Update 2:
Great news, gaffer Sectus added coop in less than 24 hours of the games release.
Hopefully he will be able to iron the issues out, thanks Sectus, even if nothing comes out of it, its nice to see the effort you put into it.
Update 3:
Well done everyone, glad that the push succeeded, and we are getting local mp "officially".

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.
We'll have more specific news to share when the beta branch goes live, so please stay tuned.
Well done everyone, glad that the push succeeded, and we are getting local mp "officially".
