The second and third installments of the horror saga will also do so.

It was a few weeks ago when the alarms went off among Resident Evil fans when Capcom re-registered the original game, although everything indicated that it was the original 1996 title that, if it was once released for PC, is currently It is not available on Steam nor was it on any digital platformsomething that is not the case now.

Capcom now announces that the original Resident Evil game is available again on PC via GOGsomething that will only get worse, as Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis will also be released. Individually, each game is or will be available for 9.99 euros, although the original trilogy as a whole can be purchased for 24.99 euros, although they do not know when the remaining two will be released, as the platform has only indicated that they will do so before the end of the year.

The versions of Resident Envil on GOG are based on those that were originally released for Windows 95, although Some modern improvements have been added to adapt to Windows 10 and 11. Likewise, games are now compatible with a large number of controllers, including the DualSense, DualShock 4 or Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Switch controllers.

In addition, the cinematics that were previously mandatory can now be skipped, as well as loading screens hidden behind slow-opening doors. Scene timing has also been improved, although players should note that since this is a 1996 game, its quality is a bit rough.
