Square Enix released the action role-playing game Parasite Eve 2 for the PlayStation console.
Parasite Eve 2 was localized and released in North America by Eidos Interactive, bringing the sequel to an international audience.
The Mitochondria within Aya Brea begin to manifest special powers following the events of the first Parasite Eve game.
Aya becomes an officer in the Mitochondrion Investigation and Suppression Team (MIST) tasked with handling mitochondrial-related incidents.
MIST investigates a series of unexplained mitochondrial disturbances leading to mutations in living creatures around New York City.
A viral outbreak known as the SNYDER virus causes mutated monsters to appear throughout the city, linked to mitochondrial anomalies.
Aya begins to sense the residual presence of Eve, the mitochondrion that triggered the first incident, within the mutant subjects and the virus.
MIST, with Aya's help, fights mutated beings affected by the SNYDER virus to prevent widespread catastrophe.
Aya confronts and defeats the re-manifested Eve form, aiming to end the mitochondrial threat in New York once and for all.
MIST contains the outbreak and secures the remains of the infected, while Aya recovers and prepares for future mitochondrial threats.
