Classic survival horror fans have just received an unexpected treat. Capcom has pulled off a surprise launch, releasing the original PlayStation-era Resident Evil trilogy directly onto Steam.
Gamers can now return to the terrifying roots of the iconic zombie franchise. The sudden digital release includes the survival horror pioneer that started it all, 1996's Resident Evil, alongside its legendary sequels: 1998's Resident Evil 2 and 1999's Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.
While blockbuster modern remakes of these titles have dominated digital storefronts in recent years, purists who prefer the retro charm of the original 90s releases can now finally experience the foundational chapters of Capcom's storied series on modern PC hardware.
