The Resident Evil Franchise
CAPCOM's renowned action horror franchise, Resident Evil, is one of the most successful and famous in the gaming industry.
It is best known for offering a complete package with a compelling story, immersive action, and downright fright to gamers.
That being said, the latest release from the company, Resident Evil VIII: Village, is known for being one of its most successful games.
Because of its popularity, the game has been in demand since the world caught wind of a possible Resident Evil remake that will bring the renowned games back to life for modern consoles to play.
The latest in the company's re-releases was Resident Evil 4's remake, best known as one of its most successful releases and one of the most beloved titles from the franchise.
The remakes may have been fillers between each release of Resident Evil's main continuity games, but they also gave users a chance to re-experience (for old-time gamers) or interest themselves in the franchise.
Four years have passed since the main storyline's last release, but there will no longer be a longer wait as Resident Evil 9 is leaked for its January 2025 release.
