Resident Evil

Multiplatform

Resident Evil is survival horror that refuses to stay in one shape.

It started as fixed-camera dread in a locked mansion, evolved into globe-trotting bio‑terror thrillers, and then swung back into intimate, atmospheric horror with the modern reboots. The common thread is tension: limited resources, grotesque creatures, and stories that mix science fiction with pure nightmare fuel.

This hub keeps the mainline games, remakes, and major story arcs organized so you can jump into the series without feeling lost. Follow the timeline, catch up on key characters like Jill, Leon, and Ethan, or dive into the latest news, guides, and reviews tied to the Resident Evil universe.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Resident Evil
What is the best order to play Resident Evil?

A practical route is RE1, RE2, RE3, RE4, RE5, RE6, RE7, Village, then RE9. You can use remakes as your primary path if you prefer modern controls.

Should I play remakes or originals first?

Either works. Remakes are more accessible; originals provide pure historical context and old-school survival-horror pacing.

Do I need every game before RE9?

No. Prioritize mainline milestones, especially RE7 and Village, then fill older arcs as needed.

Which Resident Evil games are first-person?

RE7 and Village are the key first-person entries.

Which entries focus on co-op action?

RE5 and RE6 are the major co-op-heavy chapters.
