We take a look at gaming's most celebrated horror Series, Resident Evil. Has the series worn out its welcome? What needs to change?
Circana data shows Resident Evil 5 as the best selling Resident Evil game in the US, ahead of Resident Evil 4 remake and Village.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard returns the series to its horror roots, and on the Nintendo Switch 2, you can take those frights everywhere.
New leaks from Dusk Golem detail cancelled Resident Evil projects, including a Rebecca focused Revelations game, while stating no Resident Evil 5 remake is in development.
Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.
Grew up on Resident Evil. Played the 1st, loved the second and third one. Really liked Code Veronica and even enjoyed Resident Evil 4. But then something changed in the series. It was more about the action than the survival horror, the puzzles, and the mystery that made it so enjoyable for me. Still holding out hope though.
