In joint efforts with the original creators, Capcom, we’re thrilled to announce the re-release of the original Resident Evil™, the groundbreaking series that heralded the golden age of the survival horror genre!

This iconic classic is now available with all its original content intact, featuring quality of life improvements and enhanced compatibility for modern systems. As part of GOG’s ongoing effort to protect and preserve classic games, Resident Evil is now available on the DRM-free GOG store!

Capcom's Resident Evil series has defined and revolutionized the survival horror genre, with the original Resident Evil, Resident Evil™ 2, and Resident Evil™ 3: Nemesis being standout titles that have captivated gamers worldwide. While Resident Evil set the stage, introducing players to the eerie Spencer Mansion and navigating them through terrifying encounters and intricate puzzles, its atmospheric tension and innovative gameplay mechanics laid the foundation for the series' success. Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis successfully expanded the universe, delivering unforgettable experiences that deepened the franchise's lore and horror elements.

That’s not all, though – for the complete Resident Evil experience, we decided to invite someone special to tell us something more about the series. It’s Suzi Hunter, also known as TheSphereHunter! In an exclusive video, Suzi will introduce the history of the franchise and tell the story of its originals’ revival, while interviewing some of the most interesting figures that took part in the process – including GOG’s very own Technical Producer, Adam Ziółkowski, as well as Head of Business Development, Bartosz Kwietniewski. The video will go live soon, and you’ll be able to watch it HERE – so stay tuned!

That being said – Resident Evil is now live on GOG, DRM-free! You can also wishlist Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, or pre-purchase them alongside Resident Evil in a special Bundle – you wouldn’t want to miss this occasion!

Will definitely pick this up, if only for the nostalgia. Played this on the original PlayStation back in the day. Everybody was absolutely raving about it, and it delivered. Incredibly creepy. Those controls though…

Thank you GOG and Capcom.

“Improved rendering options” but no mention of widescreen resolutions ?

Regardless, bought it.

Amazing release! Thank you so much GOG and Capcom!

One tiny nitpick:
If GOG got access to the source code, then it's a bit of a missed opportunity to create some achievements, like SNEG did with Blade of Darkness.

Now I'll go hide from the purists' wrath.

Great to see these regardless though.

===================================================================================================

On a separate note, now that GOG have established a partnership with DON'T NOD and re-established a partnership with Capcom, is there any chance to see Remember Me on GOG? Surely it's not an IP that Capcom would STILL be very concerned with "protecting" with DRM after all these years?

OMFG ... that is something I never expected ... especially since Capcom completely neglected their "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" game here on GOG which made me think that they're done with GOG.

Thank you GOG for bringing these gems here ... and @Capcom - maybe you could update "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" as well?

So... I assume this is a big deal? I never paid any attention to Resident Evil. I think I've seen one of the Milla Jovovich movies and that's about it. But good on GOG, I guess. I was beginning to think nothing noteworthy will be released during this sale.

I mean, for me personally this is still probably the most disappointing "big sale", but it does look better than "GOG might be in some actual trouble, the best thing they had for the Summer Sale was Riven, a railway simulator and some rythm shooem'up".

These games are definitely classics that belong here.

But what about the rest of the franchise?

And what about Dragon's Dogma 2? Or any other Capcom games, like Dino Crisis, etc.?

Very surprised to se these here, but I will gladly buy them if it means they will release also the remasters here :)
