The IndieGogo campaign for Andrew Saullo‘s Resident Evil fan web series, Resurrection: A Biohazard Story, is a success. Launched back in May, the 60-day campaign reached its goal of raising $200,000 to bring the four-part series to life, greenlighting full production. The current total stands at just over $205,000, with 36 hours left in the campaign.

Set to premiere free of charge on the Residence of Evil YouTube Channel in 2026— in celebration of Resident Evil’s 30th anniversary — the series promises to deliver an intense fusion of classic survival horror, action, and drama. Building on the momentum and praise received from The Keeper’s Diary, which reimagined the iconic diary entry from the original Resident Evil, Resurrection takes a bold step forward. With a runtime of approximately one hour across four episodes, this original narrative is the most expansive fan project ever attempted in the Re space.

Resident Evil is one of the most iconic horror franchises in gaming, with nearly three decades of survival horror games under its belt. From its humble beginnings in 1996 to every new Remake we get, the franchise has constantly reinvented itself. Sometimes with astonishing success, and other times, with mixed results.

So it’s only fair that we rank these games, and that’s exactly what we’re here to do today. Let’s take a look at all the mainline Resident Evil games, including Revelations, and rank them based on story, gameplay, design, and overall impact.

1. Resident Evil 2 Remake (2019)

The Resident Evil 2 Remake is an easy pick for the franchise’s crown jewel. The game is a masterclass in survival horror, and it perfectly balances action with tight level design, excellent pacing, and brings Raccoon City to life perfectly.

After teasing fans back in March, director Andrew Saullo has kicked off the IndieGogo campaign for his Resident Evil fan web series, Resurrection: A Biohazard Story. The campaign will run for 60 days, and is looking to raise $200,000. Hinging on the success of the campaign, Saullo and company seek to make Resurrection the most ambitious biohazard fan project anticipated to date, as a four-part limited series to be released in full, free of charge, on the Residence of Evil Youtube channel. Each episode would run 15 minutes in length.

As detailed in the video below, the series, which will not be tied to official Resident Evil canon (for copyright reasons), will reunite members of the cast of the original Resident Evil cutscenes in Charlie Kraslavsky, Greg Smith, Eric Pirius and Linda, who played Chris Redfield, Barry Burton, Albert Wesker and Rebecca Chambers, respectively. Joining the original cast will be Annie Roig as Jill.

Resident Evil is getting rebooted by Barbarian helmer Zach Cregger. With no connection to the previous movies (and Netflix series), the new reboot is set to hit theaters next year.

Per THR, the first cast member for the movie may have been found. Austin Abrams is reportedly eyed to star in the movie, which would reunite him with Cregger. Abrams is one of the stars of the upcoming film Weapons, Cregger's follow-up to the acclaimed horror movie Barbarian. Abrams has yet to officially sign on, so it's not a lock just yet.

Abrams recently appeared in the Apple TV movie Wolfs with George Clooney and Brad Pitt. To fans of The Walking Dead, he can be recognized for his role as Ron Anderson, the character who shoots Carl (Chandler Riggs) in the eye in Season 6 before he gets devoured by zombies. Abrams is also known for his role as Ethan Daley...

The upcoming Resident Evilreboot is officially on the way, and it is set to hit theaters sooner than many expected. Fans of the beloved video game series have been witness to numerous failed adaptations, most recently being the low-budget flick Welcome to Raccoon City and Netflix's short-lived series Resident Evil. Hailing from Barbarian director Zach Cregger, Sony has officially acquired another Resident Evil reboot, which will reportedly take the franchise back to its horror roots.

According to Deadline, the tentatively titled Resident Evil film is set to release in theaters on Sept. 18, 2026. Cregger told Deadline the following in the wake of the official release date announcement: “I’ve been a rabid fan of these games for decades and to be able to bring this amazing title to life is a true honor.” Details on the film's plot are scarce, but Deadline reports that it will harken back to the...

A new Resident Evil movie is coming to theaters next year. The film will mark the latest of multiple reboots given to the Resident Evil franchise.

Per Deadline, the upcoming Resident Evil reboot will be released in movie theaters on Sept. 18, 2026. The new movie is not connected to the original film series from director Paul W.S. Anderson, nor the previous reboot, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, by filmmaker Johannes Roberts. For the next reboot, acclaimed horror filmmaker Zach Cregger will be taking the helm. Cregger is known for his hit 2022 movie Barbarian, which has a 92% Rotten Tomatoes score and made over $45 million at the box office against a budget of less than $5 million.

The screenplay for Cregger's Resident Evil reboot was co-written with Shay Hatten (John Wick franchise). It will be produced by Contantin Film alongside PlayStation Productions. Constantin's Robert Kulzer, Vertigo Entertainment's Roy Lee (Barbarian), and...

Director Andrew Saullo (who directed the Resident Evil fan film The Keeper’s Diary: A Biohazard Story) has released new information for his follow-up web series, Resurrection: A Biohazard Story, as well as the first promo images. The series, which will not be tied to official Resident Evil canon (for copyright reasons), will have a crowdfunding campaign launch in the near future.

The series will reunite members of the cast of the original Resident Evil cutscenes in Charlie Kraslavsky, Greg Smith, Eric Pirius and Linda, who played Chris Redfield, Barry Burton, Albert Wesker and Rebecca Chambers, respectively.

Written by Adi Attavane, Resurrection: A Biohazard Story aims to deliver “an intense cinematic limited series,” bringing back the aforementioned cast of the Resident Evil live-action cinematics, but also legendary voices from the series, including Pablo Kuntz (Albert Wesker 1996 voice actor), Joe Whyte (2002 Chris Redfield/Richard Aiken), Ward Sexton (the Resident Evil title screen voice) and more.

The Resident Evil video game series is reportedly getting another film adaptation, according to a rumor that Bloody Digusting reported. Per the report, the next Resident Evil film will be an adaptation of the prequel game Resident Evil 0, first released on the Nintendo GameCube in 2002. It's also important to point out that the studio and production company behind the Resident Evil movies, Screen Gems / Constantin Films, is required to release a new film every five years in order to keep the rights to the Resident Evil films. This is helping to fuel the speculation around another film being released this year.

The last Resident Evil Film released by the company, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, came out in 2021 and mainly received poor reviews from critics. It also struggled at the box office, taking in a worldwide gross of $42 million against a $25 million budget. Theoretically, the production company's next Resident Evil...

Noted Resident Evil leaker AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem is back with another interesting set of rumours, this time involving Resident Evil Zero. Not only is there renewed speculation of a remake of the 2002 GameCube title, but also a potential film adaptation from Screen Gems/Constantin Films.

As always, take these bits with your usual dose of sodium chloride.

Taking to X, Dusk Golem mentions that it is his speculation that with Screen Gems/Constantin Films having a contract that in order to retain the rights to Resident Evil for films, they would need to crank out a film every five years. The previous film was 2021’s Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (which didn’t exactly set the box office on fire), meaning that the next film would need to be released before fiscal year 2026.

Which brings us to the next bit of speculation in that the film, which is...

Barbarian director Zach Cregger's next project as part of his current deal with New Line Cinema is Weapons, which is now in production and is set to hit theaters in early 2026. However, it seems the highly in-demand filmmaker is also being courted by Sony Pictures.

Industry insider Jeff Sneider recently reported that Cregger was set to helm a Clue reboot for the studio, but later updated his story to say that he had decided to pass on the project and was now in talks to direct a new Resident Evil movie.

The last Resident Evil feature was Johannes Roberts' Welcome to Racoon City starring Kaya Scodelario (Crawl) as Claire Redfield, Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp) as Jill Valentine, and Robbie Amell (Upload) as Chris Redfield. It was not well-received by fans or critics.

More recently, a live-action Resident Evil series starring the late Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker was released on Netflix,...

Last year, New Line Cinema went all-in on a partnership with Barbarian (watch it Here) writer/director Zach Cregger and Barbarian’s producers at BoulderLight Pictures. New Line came out the winner in a bidding war over Weapons, which they’re planning to give a theatrical release date on January 16, 2026, and they’re also paying Cregger a sum in the eight figure range to make the movie. In addition to working with them on Weapons, New Line signed a first look deal with BoulderLight Pictures, tasking the company with developing high concept genre projects for them, and they gave a greenlight to the sci-fi thriller Companion, produced by BoulderLight and Cregger. That film will be reaching theatres a full year ahead of Weapons… But while Cregger is collaborating with New Line Cinema, he’s also being courted by Sony Pictures. Industry scooper Jeff Sneider reports that Sony was hoping Cregger...

Director Andrew Saullo has just dropped the second Resident Evil cast reunion. And this time, Charlie Kraslavsky, Greg Smith and Eric Pirius are joined by the surprise addition of Rebecca Chambers’ actress, known as Linda! The quartet were joined by Saullo, as well as Residence of Evil founder JJ Trulock to discuss (what else?) their experience with Resident Evil, as well as some behind-the-scenes info on the shoot for the cutscenes.

Regarding the shoot for the cutscenes, Linda said that the experience “left a really big impact” on her at the time. “It was a big day. It was a wild shoot and it was very different than anything else that I had been doing in Japan at the time when I was modelling.” Still, Linda did remember her fellow actors, though she admitted that they all “looked a little bit different” at the time, including herself. “I remember for the shoot,...

Yoshihiro Togashi, the famed creator behind Hunter x Hunter, has been rallying up fans lately with exciting updates about the series that's long been on hiatus. Now, hes extending his reach with artwork dedicated to one of the best-selling PlayStation horror franchises of all time.

Togashi recently uploaded an illustration of the first Resident Evil game on his official X account (formerly Twitter), as seen below. The artwork features a horrifying image of the classic Resident Evil zombie, along with headshots of Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Barry Burton and Rebecca Chambers. As longtime Resident Evil fans know, the 1996 PlayStation game by Capcom set the stage for future horror titles with its engaging gameplay and cinematic presentation. Although some of its questionable line deliveries ("You were almost a Jill Sandwich") and the full-motion video intro may now come off as cheesy, the scares made through its haunting atmosphere and monster designs remain effective to this day.

Following its Resident Evil 4 remake, Capcom is reportedly in the process of updating two spin-offs – Resident Evil Zero and Code: Veronica.

Capcom took something of a gamble when it remade Resident Evil 4 last year, but it undoubtedly paid off – the current-gen version providing a sensitive update of the ground-breaking 2005 original.

According to recent reports, Capcom is now turning its attention to a pair of Resident Evil spin-offs: 2000’s Resident Evil – Code: Veronica and 2002’s Resident Evil Zero. Both were third-person survival horror games, much like the mainline franchise, but came with their own narrative twists on the formula. Resident Evil Zero’s story switched between two protagonists – cop Rebecca Chambers and convict Billy Coen – and featured a horde of mutant killer leeches.

Code: Veronica was set on a prison island and followed the investigations of brother-sister S.T.A.R.S agents. Both spin-offs were big successes in their day, and both...

Red-Raptor3 showcases the evolution of Resident Evil graphics, highlighting the monumental improvements over the years. The graphical improvements in modern Resident Evil titles have been widely praised, showcasing how far the franchise has come. Capcom's approach of releasing new installments while remaking older games has kept the Resident Evil franchise thriving.

The Resident Evil franchise is one of the most iconic in the entire video game industry and one talented fan wants to remind the community how far the franchise has come since its humble start on the PlayStation One. While many other video game series that began on Sony's first console have been either forgotten or dormant, Capcom's survival horror games have only improved in quality over the years, bar the occasional stumble in the mid-2000s. With modern Resident Evil titles boasting some of the best graphics around, it's easy to forget its roots.

Warning: Major spoilers for Resident Evil: Death Island below!

Resident Evil: Death Island brings together the franchise's biggest game characters for an action-packed team-up fans have long dreamed of. The film pays tribute to the franchise's past by featuring Raccoon City and giving Rebecca Chambers a more active role. Death Island wraps up loose ends from previous installment Vendetta and includes some actual horror elements, adding tension to the predominantly action-focused animated Resident Evil movies.

Resident Evil: Death Island is something of a love letter to the franchise and one that fans will have a great time with. The first entry in the video game franchise was hugely inspired by zombie movies, so it felt only natural Resident Evil would be a good fit for the big screen. That said, the Milla Jovovich-fronted films placed far more of an emphasis on outlandish action and sci-fi twists than horror and...

The latest entry in the animated franchise, Resident Evil: Death Island comes two years after the last entry, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, and is set in 2015, just after the events of Resident Evil: Vendetta but before Resident Evil 7. Got that?

Somewhere in San Fransisco Dso Agent Leon S. Kennedy is trying to recover kidnapped scientist Dr. Antonio Taylor (Frank Todaro) when a mysterious woman appears and, after a high-speed chase, causes him to crash. Claire Redfield is also in town, trying to find out what kind of creature can use Orcas as a food source. And whether or not the creature is a bioweapon.

Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers are also looking for answers.

"Resident Evil: Death Island" brings together five iconic heroes as they battle a dangerous new villain on Alcatraz. The movie is set between "Resident Evil 6" and "Resident Evil: Vendetta," and before the events of "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard." Creators Eiichiro Hasumi, Makoto Fukami & Masachika Kawata explain how the film explores the legacy of the franchise while introducing new dynamics between the beloved characters, especially with the return of Jill.

Resident Evil: Death Island finally brings together five iconic Resident Evil heroes when Leon's mission to track down the missing Dr. Antonio Taylor leads him to Alcatraz. Simultaneously, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers are investigating a new outbreak, with the only commonality between the infected being the island. The team will need to work together to take down a dangerous new villain with horrifying machinations that could make him their most dangerous enemy yet.

Resident Evil: Death Island...

It’s the final week of July and two more new horror movies are headed onto the big screen this weekend. They’ll have to compete with the #Barbenheimer phenomenon, but both new horror releases look to bring very different counter programming to the box office. One is the next rated “R” fright fest from A24, while the other is a horror-comedy built for families.

Here’s all the new horror releasing July 25– July 30, 2023!

The expansive Resident Evil series has been crossing genre borders and mediums, introducing all sorts of ways to expand the horror setting introduced almost three decades ago in the first game. The franchise's expansive cast has dealt with all sorts of threats, working together in different pairings to protect the world from bio-weapons and horrifying monsters. But now, in the new film Resident Evil: Death Island (by Director Eiichirō Hasumi and Writer Makoto Fukami), five of the series' most iconic heroes -- Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Leon S. Kennedy, Rebecca Chambers, and Claire Redfield -- are together at last for a wild adventure.

During an interview with Cbr ahead of Resident Evil: Death Island's Jul. 25 release on Blu-Ray, 4k Steelbook, Digital, and DVD, Nicole Tompkins (Jill Valentine), Matthew Mercer (Leon S. Kennedy), and Stephanie Panisello (Claire Redfield) broke down their...

Fans have been eagerly anticipating the first-ever on-screen team-up of iconic Resident Evil characters, and finally seeing them all together is a dream come true. Resident Evil: Death Island explores the ongoing trauma faced by these characters, particularly Jill, who is coping with the aftermath of mind control and survivor's guilt. The key to successful video game adaptations lies in capturing the humanity of the characters and connecting with a wider audience, while staying true to the iconic elements of the franchise.

In Resident Evil: Death Island, Leon is sent to track down the kidnapped Dr. Antonio Taylor, and Chris Redfield is investigating a new outbreak on Alcatraz with the help of Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers. With the island being the only common denominator between the victims, the team investigates the island, where together they will face a deadly new horror. This is the first time all...

Resident Evil is one of the most successful survival horror franchises of all time, with its influence having spread into live-action films, stage plays, novels, and more - but of course, the heart of the series lies in its wonderful, lore-rich games. Multiple different continuities have been shaped throughout various forms of Re media, but the main timeline explored in Capcom's beloved games is known as the Prime Universe. As its name would imply, it's the most expansive and canon continuity, and it constitutes the majority of mainline Resident Evil games.

In March 2023, Capcom released a remake of Resident Evil 4,...

A new live-action film based on the Resident Evil video game franchise is in the works (we’ve heard that it’s called Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and based on the game Resident Evil Zero), but while we wait to see how that’s going to turn out, we’re also going to have a new computer animated Resident Evil movie to watch. This one is called Resident Evil: Death Island, and it’s set to receive a Blu-ray, 4K steelbook, DVD, and digital release on July 25th! You can watch the trailer in the embed above.

Resident Evil: Death Island is the fourth animated Resident Evil feature, following Resident Evil: Degeneration, Resident Evil: Damnation, and Resident Evil: Vendetta. There was also an animated mini-series called Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness.

Directed by Eiichiro Hasumi from a screenplay by Makoto Fukami, Resident Evil: Death Island has the following synopsis: In San Francisco,...

Last week, we told you about the rumoured Resident Evil film that’s currently in development, code-named “The Umbrella Chronicles.” Now, it appears that more info has surfaced on the project, which depending on the source, will either be based on the 2007 Wii title Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, or 2002’s Resident Evil 0.

According to the website Production Weekly, the synopsis for “Umbrella Chronicles” is essentially the same as the game’s Wikipedia page. A Twitter user by the name The White Queen was able to provide a copy of the synopsis, which is laid out as follows…

“[The Umbrella Chronicles] follows Stars operative Rebecca Chambers and former Marine Billy Coen as they venture through a train that eventually takes them to a derelict training facility. Once within the facility, they discover they are being stalked by James Marcus, co-founder of the Umbrella Corporation and creator of the T-virus, who has managed to...

Last week, we heard that the 2021 live-action feature Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City may be getting a follow-up of sorts, as a project called Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is in the works, coming from the same company that was behind Welcome to Raccoon City (Raccoon Hg Film Productions) and set to film in the same area: Greater Sudbury, a city in Ontario, Canada. Now the Resident Evil Wiki team has given us further information that indicates the new film will be based on the 2002 video game Resident Evil Zero!

If you’ve been wondering just when Capcom’s upcoming Resident Evil: Death Island film would be released, wonder no more. Sadly, other than Japan, it won’t be seeing a theatrical release.

After initially being revealed for this Summer, and then subsequently announced for release theatrically in Japan on July 7, Sony Pictures has now announced that Death Island will be getting a release digitally and on Steelbook 4K Uhd and Blu-Ray on July 25. Pre-orders are now open.

Directed by Eiichiro Hasumi (“Assassination Classroom”) from a screenplay by Makoto Fukami (“Psycho-Pass”), Resident Evil: Death Island is a sequel to 2017’s Resident Evil: Vendetta, featuring the voice talents of Matthew Mercer, Stephanie Panisello, Kevin Dorman, Nicole Tompkins, and Erin Cahill.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has released a new trailer for the animated movie Resident Evil: Death Island. Set in the Resident Evil video game universe, the film unites several fan favorites from different installments of the series: Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers. This time, a new T-Virus is unleashed in San Francisco, and this leads to the fan favorite zombie hunters winding up on Alcatraz Island. The film hits Digital and Blu-ray on July 25, and you can check out the new trailer below.

The official synopsis for Resident Evil: Death Island is as follows:

In San Francisco, Jill Valentine is dealing with a zombie outbreak and a new T-Virus, Leon Kennedy is on the trail of a kidnapped Darpa scientist, and Claire Redfield is investigating a monstrous fish that is killing whales in the bay. Joined by Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers, they discover...

The Resident Evil Avengers assemble in the first full trailer for Resident Evil: Death Island, titled Biohazard: Death Island in Japan. Animation studio Kadokawa gave a fanservice-filled new look into the film, showing series stars Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy, Rebecca Chambers, and "The Master of Unlocking" herself Jill Valentine joining forces to combat undead horrors from swimming lickers to zombie sharks on Alcatraz Island. The groups are on separate missions as Leon tracks down the kidnappers who captured Dr. Antonio Taylor while Chris, Claire, Rebecca, and Jill investigate the rise in infected connected to Alcatraz Island. During their assignments, they collide on the prison island for a campy and action-packed ride for the fans.

The stars of the Resident Evil franchise are showing out for Resident Evil: Death Island. A new Japanese poster shared on Twitter courtesy of Resident Evil Central shows the series' iconic protagonists Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers gathered to fight whatever evils await them on the titular death island — Alcatraz. The poster also gave away a release date, revealing that the film is due out on July 7 in Japan.

With Capcom riding high with the Resident Evil 4 remake (which recently eclipsed four million in sales in less than a month), they’re obviously hoping that the upcoming Resident Evil: Death Island animated film will share in some of that success. And with the latest images, it’s definitely going to be one for the fans.

Noted leaker Dusk Golem once again provided the goods with an image of the new Japanese onesheet, along with a group shot featuring Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield and Rebecca Chambers making a stand against whatever big baddie they’re facing in the film.

The Resident Evil franchise has been around for a quarter of a century, so it's had quite a bit of time to amass a cast of varied and colorful characters to flesh out the more than two decades worth of survival horror material the series has brought to game consoles. From ridiculously overpowered villains, grounded everymen just trying to stay alive, and action heroes who can't stop spouting corny one-liners, Resident Evil has it all.

With so much variety in the cast, it can be hard to pick a favorite, especially when nearly every Resident Evil character has had their moment in the spotlight to do something scary, exciting, or hilarious. Still, there are a couple of familiar faces who stand out as being among the most beloved characters in the series.

Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City was intended to reboot the horror movie franchise, but budget cuts doomed it before it hit screens. The Milla Jovovich Resident Evil movies always received mixed to poor reviews, but they were hugely profitable worldwide. The Final Chapter marked the last outing of the Jovovich era, and it was decided to reboot the property with a movie leaning closer to its video game origins. Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down) was hired to write and direct and was himself a fan of the games. Sadly, Welcome To Raccoon City was also met with bad notices and underwhelming box office.

A thread at ResidentEvil.org has gathered together information both on Welcome To Raccoon City's many deleted scenes and unused concepts - and an explanation for what went wrong behind the scenes. The project was originally budgeted at 40 million, with Roberts scripting a much larger movie.

Being outshone is never fun. That was unfortunately the case for Resident Evil Zero when it was released the same year as the acclaimed Resident Evil remake. Having to follow up the latter’s success, especially when taking into account that RE0 was in development for far longer than the remake, it seemed that the prequel faced an insurmountable task. The game still sold well, but 20 years later, it would seem that Resident Evil Zero has been left by the wayside by Capcom and its fans. But is that fair?

Resident Evil Zero takes place just prior to the start of Resident Evil, where the the Ecliptic Express, a train owned by Umbrella, comes under attack from a swarm of leeches. Two hours later, S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team is sent via helicopter to investigate a series of cannibalistic murders in the Arklay Mountains outside of Raccoon City.

Pubg’s Halloween crossover with Dead by Daylight is now live, with players able to receive exclusive rewards for both games by playing the limited-time Pubg X Dead by Daylight Mode. The Pubg x Dead by Daylight event brings Dead by Daylight’s high-stakes game of hide and seek into Pubg, with a limited-time mode pitting players against a bloodthirsty Killer. Apart from purchasing premium Dead by Daylight-themed outfits available in the Pubg Store, players can also complete a set of missions to receive special event cosmetics for free.

The wait is finally over. Project W, the newest Resident Evil crossover with Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight, arrives today for PC and consoles. Starting today, players can step into the Fog as Albert Wesker, Ada Wong and Rebecca Chambers, complete with a rework of the Raccoon City Police Department Map, and new outfits.

Players with the Killer mindset can choose to play as Albert Wesker, known in game as The Mastermind. Wesker uses the power of the Uroboros virus to take down survivors. Wesker’s Power, Virulent Bound, allows him to rush forward at an incredible speed, grabbing anyone that stands in his path and infect them with Uroboros. Players afflicted with the virus experience a penalty to their mobility, and are easier to pick up.

For the Survivors, players can choose from either Ada Wong or Rebecca Chambers. Ada’s survival skills make her a valuable ally in the fight…...

If you were wondering just when Project W would be hitting Dead by Daylight, you’re not the only one. Behaviour Interactive has been mum on that front, instead sprinkling lore for Survivors Rebecca Chambers and Ada Wong, and new Killer Albert Wesker (known in-game as The Mastermind) for the upcoming crossover. That was until this morning, when the official Dead by Daylight Twitter account posted this:

https://twitter.com/DeadByBHVR/status/1563164364026396672

While Behaviour doesn’t outright say it, according to several leaker sites such as Leaks by Daylight, August 30th is the release date for the Resident Evil crossover with Dead by Daylight. Barring any surprise postponing, Project W will release for PC and consoles next week, and cost 11.99.

The post ‘Resident Evil’ Crossover “Project W” Officially Revealed for ‘Dead by Daylight’ [Trailer] appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

The reveal of Resident Evil Village‘s release date and gameplay brings us that much closer to another entry into one of the more complicated (and sometimes confusing) timelines in video game history.

Granted, the Resident Evil timeline doesn’t stray too far from the release order of the games themselves, but subtle shifts in the storyline created by the occasional odd entry mean that it’s easy to lose track of how we got here. That’s why we’re going to try to help chart the Resident Evil timeline as it stands today.

For the purposes of this discussion, please note that we’re only talking about the Resident Evil games and not the live-action or animated movies. Furthermore, we’ve included some spinoffs but are ignoring games that are either largely irrelevant to the timeline (such as Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D) or have been removed from...

More information regarding Resident Evil: Revelations 3 has emerged, this time concerning potential characters.

For those that missed it earlier this week, reputable insider AestheticGamer (Aka Dusk Golem) corroborated previous rumors that a third installment in the survival horror series’ popular spinoff is in the works and, what’s more, is being developed specifically with the Switch in mind. That’s not to say the unconfirmed title will be exclusive to Nintendo’s hybrid console, however, as the leak states that it’ll also be available for Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

That being the case, it’s likely that this offshoot of the main franchise will be a smaller, more modestly budgeted affair to accommodate the Switch’s less powerful hardware, but that certainly doesn’t mean its creator would give Revelations 3 any less care and attention.

Capcom’s plans for the Nintendo Switch won’t necessarily follow those already in place for other consoles.

As announced by the developer earlier this year, owners of the Big N’s hybrid device will be able to get their hands on an exclusive Monster Hunter game in 2021 that essentially serves as an alternative to 2018’s acclaimed World. That being the case, it’s hardly surprising that Resident Evil is supposedly receiving similar treatment in the form of Revelations 3. The title, while not announced in any official capacity, was among those leaked in a recent data breach of Capcom’s internal servers, where it is labelled as Outrage. That’s according to new details provided by insider AestheticGamer (Aka Dusk Golem), at least, who’s shared some additional information about the mysterious project.

As per comments made over on ResetEra, the reliable whistleblower claims that Revelations 3 (name not final) is...

There’ve been a lot of reports coming out regarding possible casting choices for the hugely anticipated Resident Evil reboot and now, it seems a Zombieland: Double Tap star is being eyed for the role of Rebecca Chambers.

Rebecca was initially introduced as a supporting character in the first Resident Evil game back in 1996. She was a young officer with the S.T.A.R.S. police unit and found herself trapped in a mansion filled with zombies. Later in 2002, she was the protagonist of the prequel game Resident Evil Zero, which depicted the events prior to that horrific ordeal. In Zero, she’s separated from her team and partnered with escaped convict Billy Coen to survive. Now, it seems she’ll make her big screen debut in the upcoming reboot and we’re hearing of one actress that’s being eyed for the part.

According to our sources – the...

With the release of Resident Evil 7 and the remake of Resident Evil 2, Capcom’s premier horror franchise has been propelled into the limelight as of late. After years of subpar games that shied too far away from the franchise’s roots, the Japanese developer/publisher seems to have honed in on a formula that appeals to fans from all over.

Still, while the series has benefitted from finely-tuned gameplay and a large amount of polish lately, it’s hard to forget just how cheesy the first game was. For those who haven’t had the pleasure of experiencing it for themselves, the original PlayStation version of Resident Evil is, too put it mildly, something to behold. Stilted voice acting? Yep. D-tier dialogue? You betcha. Laughable live-action sequences bookending the beginning and epilogue? You better believe it.

Interestingly though, because the video game industry did a very poor job at properly...

While we’re all impatiently waiting for a remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Capcom did the next best thing by tiding us over with the first trailer for Project Resistance earlier this week. At first, we suspected it to be the next entry into the Outbreak line of spinoffs. But even though the debut footage shot down that idea, it quickly became apparent that we’re receiving the spiritual successor.

I think the main difference between Outbreak and Project Resistance is how they differ in scenario. Whereas both Outbreak games followed a ragtag group of citizens trying to survive the Raccoon City incident, Project Resistance instead focuses on four people seemingly dropped into a controlled environment, who are forced to battle a variety of B.O.W.s (that’s Bio-Organic Weapons for the Re newbies out there).

Before I further explore that notion, let me first speculate on...

Though the recently released Resident Evil 2 remake has proven to be more different from the 1998 original than Re 1‘s remake was from its predecessor, I’ve immensely enjoyed it nevertheless. If anything, it’s retained the spirit of the game that made me fall in love with the franchise over two decades ago, not to mention iconic elements such as Mr. X. In fact, it could be argued that the sharply dressed Tyrant is more popular these days because of social media.

Interestingly enough, Capcom decided to again include the option for players to develop film found in Raccoon City’s Police Station and its surrounding areas in the darkroom. This time, though, going through with the process actually proved to be more worth your while because the photos reveal item locations and puzzle solutions.

If you’re familiar with the Playstation classic, then you remember searching Albert Wesker’s...

Capcom’s remaster of Resident Evil 0 has sold a respectable 800,000 units since launching in January of this year, the company has announced as part of its latest earning’s report (via GameSpot). Originally released in 2002 for the Nintendo GameCube, Zero tells the story of Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen as they explore a zombie-infested facility owned by Umbrella in the hours directly preceding the events of the first Resident Evil.

The number of announced sales only account for Capcom’s previous financial year which ended on March 31, so the actual number is likely to be a tad higher than what’s been confirmed. Sales of Resident Evil Origins Collection – a physical release that includes remasters of Zero and Resident Evil HD Remaster – likely haven’t been included either, as the earning’s report specifically mentions digital sales.

Either way, it’s clear that Resi fans still have a soft spot...

Resident Evil: Vendetta has officially been announced as the title for Marza Animation Planet’s new CGI movie featuring Leon S. Kennedy. In addition to the title reveal, Marza also set the film for a 2017 debut and unveiled a look at Kennedy and his sleek two-wheeled ride.

According to Marza, Takanori Tsujimoto is directing Resident Evil: Vendetta from a screenplay by Makoto Fukami. Takashi Shimizu executive produces the project, which features music by Kenji Kawai.

At the Tokyo Motorcycle Show, it was revealed that Kennedy will ride Ducati’s XDiavel motorcycle (shown with Kennedy in the teaser image below) in the new movie. Further plot information and the film’s voice cast have yet to be unveiled, although Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers are expected to appear in Vendetta.

Previous CG-animated Resident Evil movies include 2008’s Degeneration and 2012’s Damnation, both of which also featured the highly skilled Kennedy.

*Updated with the official press release.* Rebecca Chambers, Billy Coen, and endless waves of slithering leeches receive an HD upgrade in the remastered release of Resident Evil 0. Out today from Capcom, the game's sleek new makeover is teased in the official launch trailer.

The remastered Resident Evil 0 is now available for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC. Also out today for the Xbox One and PS4 is the Resident Evil Origins Collection, containing the remastered versions of Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0. Below, we have the official press release with full details:

Press Release: San Mateo, Calif. — Jan. 19, 2016 — Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced the release of Resident Evil® 0, which can be enjoyed in both physical and digital formats beginning today. Experience an introduction to the origin stories that started it all with Resident Evil® Origins Collection, a physical disc product that...

Resident Evil 0 HD, now thirteen years removed from the original GameCube release, hardly suffers for its experimentation. I could point fingers at the item management system (and will convey its faults and fruits shortly), but Resident Evil 0 also pioneered the partner feature that would define every ensuing Resident Evil. It made its characters likable ‒ not meatheads or one-dimensional rookies ‒ and picked people’s brains during obtuse puzzles. The set dressing produced as many spine tingles as the original Resident Evil, yet critics grieved over franchise fatigue. Resident Evil 0, and thus Resident Evil 0 HD, endures as the series’ dark horse.

Can I convince you otherwise?

Resident Evil 0 HD contains one of the strongest starts for a Resident Evil game, perhaps more than Resident Evil 4. A search for the felon Billy Coen endangers Rebecca Chambers and her team when she discovers an immobilized train in Raccoon Forest. Avoiding specifics, the train soon resumes its locomotion,...
