Remember Resident Evil Re:Verse, the multiplayer game that was supposed to launch alongside Resident Evil Village last year?

We played the remake's first 30 minutes
In 2023, there won't be a safer full-price purchase than the Resident Evil 4 remake.

News Winters Is Concluding! Resident Evil Village DLC Will End Ethan, Rose's Story
What's next?
To be fair, not even the most committed Resident Evil fan would put protagonist Ethan Winters on par with the likes of Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine.

News Resident Evil Village's Visuals Still Stunning with PSVR2
Very little drop-off from console release
The original PSVR was amazing, but on the rare occasion a tentpole AAA title got ported to it, the visuals took an enormous hit. Resident Evil 7 Biohazard is a great example: the experience was transformative in virtual reality, but the Bakers’ family home looked grimy and low-fidelity on the headset. It...
Hands On Shadows of Rose Turns Resident Evil Village into Magic
Return to Castle Dimitrescu
If Resident Evil Village was proof Capcom isn't afraid to change the sort of enemies its survival horror franchise has to offer, then DLC Shadows of Rose is evidence the developer can do the very same for its main character.

News Of Course Netflix Wants Lady Dimitrescu in Resident Evil Show
Tall order
Netflix’s new Resident Evil show is absolutely ridiculous, so it’ll take some work to top the silliness in a hypothetical second season.

First Impressions Resident Evil Netflix Deviates from the Games But Still Entertains
Umbrella Balinska
There’s not a lot of connective tissue between Netflix’s deceptively named 2022 television adaptation of Resident Evil and Capcom’s games.
