Examples include Street Fighter , Monster Hunter , and Mega Man , which have all had numerous releases over the years. Another one of Capcoms flagship franchises is Resident Evil. The series has recently put out its latest game, Resident Evil Village , to warm reception from fans and critics.
The game's critical acclaim will likely bring another new wave of fans to the franchise, who may be looking to revisit some of the franchise's older titles as well as new releases.
To help give players an idea of what order to revisit the series in, here is every Resident Evil game, listed from oldest release to newest. Updated on October 20, , by Jack Pursey: Now that Resident Evil Village has been out for a few months and the dust has settled, it's safe to say that the general perception of the game was very positive, and it has been added to the long, ever-expanding list of critically acclaimed Resident Evil titles.
To give the iconic series some more much-deserved attention, we've expanded this list to offer further insight into every Resident Evil game released thus far. The original Resident Evil isn't just iconic for kicking off the iconic horror franchise but also for being a pioneer in the rise of the survival horror genre.
Although the game holds a nostalgic value for a lot of people, the remake and subsequent remaster are the best ways to revisit the classic game. Resident Evil is particularly memorable for the mansion that the game takes place in. The enormous building looked fantastic for , and its bucket-load of secrets and puzzles hiding around every corner made it a joy to explore, despite the horror lurking within. Following the enormous critical and commercial success of the first Resident Evil, there were few surprised faces when a sequel was announced shortly after.
Resident Evil 2 built upon the excellent foundations that Resident Evil set and consequently received a similar level of acclaim.
The game introduced a handful of key Resident Evil characters, such as Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong. The game also included the Tyrant known as Mr. X, whose frightening size and strength terrified players in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was released just under two years after its predecessor and again kept the core gameplay mechanics similar to its predecessors with the trademark puzzle-solving and fixed camera angles.
The game ramped up the fear factor from the previous entries, thanks to the introduction of the horrifying Nemesis. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis , like its two predecessors, received a ton of praise from fans and critics.
Consequently, many people at the time believed the Resident Evil franchise to be one of the best gaming trilogies of all time. Capcom is no stranger to spin-offs for their main franchises, so it was no surprise that the company took a detour following the series' immensely successful original trilogy.
Resident Evil Survivor is a light gun shooter that was fairly well-received in most parts of the world.
However, the North American release was largely dismissed, as the light gun control feature was banned, significantly harming the gameplay. Resident Evil — Code: Veronica was the first game to launch on a console other than the PlayStation 1.
The highlight event is when the protagonist Ethan Winters gets lost in an abandoned plantation occupied by a cannibal family. But not everything in this release was the norm. For the first time, the game was on a first-person view which is even more immersive than the over the shoulder view.
The horror feeling that made the game so popular was finally back with tons of claustrophobic areas and a slower pace to enhance the survivor horror feel. In addition to the eerie feel, the game also had some challenging puzzles guaranteed to keep players locked.
The game would have done with a few more weapons, however, the strategic and stealth approach fits the game perfectly.
Resident Evil 2 is a full-fledged remake. It tells the same story as the original Resident Evil 2 with a bit of re-imagination from the developers. The game retracts back to the same OTS camera featured in Resident Evil 4 through 6 and places focus on balancing the action and horror elements of the game. The atmosphere is heavy and oppressing and the combat encounters are intense.
This remake has not only received positive reviews but also landed several awards out there. Due for release, the newest addition to the staple will feature a remake of Resident Evil 2.

There have been a few kinks and trips along the road.

Playing Chris does mean that you get to see Rebecca again, however. Not too long after the accursed Mansion Incident, Raccoon City had a city-wide outbreak. This is where chronology gets a touch tricky - 3 and 2 overlap, but there's a way to manage it if you're a stickler for playing in order.
In 3, you play as Jill again but there's another character in the mix. Carlos, a new character, has his own segments when Jill is occupied. The game opens with the outbreak's beginnings, meaning it takes place before 2. However, there is a time skip once Jill gets infected - at that point, switch over. With the outbreak already rampant, rookie first-day police officer Leon Kennedy strolls into town and bumps into Chris Redfield's sister who has arrived at the city in search of her brother.
The two realize the city is under siege by hordes of zombies and set out on their respective goals — Leon helping Ada Wong and Claire helping Sherry Berkin all while she searches for Chris. The first game might not have a canonical campaign but 2 does. If you want to experience it, the order is Claire 1 and Leon 2. Once you've wrapped up 2 and, if you're so inclined, the optional Fourth Survivor mode, it's time to delve back into 3, starting with the hospital segment that has you in the shoes of Carlos.
From this point on, there are only two remaining areas, the hospital and NEST 2. The latter is home to a couple of Nemesis boss fights so be sure that you're well-stocked to take him on. She helps young Sherry escape but never does find her brother. Resident Evil 4 —. Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles —. Resident Evil 5 —. Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles —.
