Rejoice!
The original Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3 will be available on GOG.com by the end of this week.
Apart from owning an original PlayStation — or either subscribing to a high PlayStation Plus tier or outright buying the original Resident Evil on PlayStation 4 or 5 — this is one of the only ways of owning the classic. Better yet, it’s the version that is colourised and uncensored. Yay for blood!
The PC release of RE1 is compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11, has support for modern gamepads, and has some quality of life improvements including cutscene timings.
“Your Special Tactics and Rescue Squad has been choppered to a remote mansion to investigate a biotechnical experiment gone hideously wrong. Before you can say ‘mass murder’, you’re plunged straight into a deathtrap writhing with man-eating freaks, swarming crows and rabid dogs,” reads the title’s description on GOG.
“Arm yourself with knives and flame-throwers scavenged from dead teammates. Solve puzzles, disarm traps and unearth mysteries. But beware: every move you make draws you deeper into the deadly embrace of Resident Evil.”
Resident Evil 1 is available now, while both Resident Evil 2 and 3 are coming “with 2024”. Of the latter games, bonus modes like 4th Survivor, Tofu, and Mercenaries will be included at launch.
