Resident Evil is a saga with the greatest impact on the videogame industry in the last 25 years; Capcom license is one of the most valued by players and its total sales are around 100 million since the first installment in 1996. The saga of terror has gone through different moments of form, with releases not always accompanied by critics, but has always responded at the sales level.
One of his most popular moments of the saga was, of course, in the late 90s, with the emergence of the original trilogy on PlayStation
After some experiments, such as the Revelations sub-series, we had to wait until 2017 to live the nth reinvention of the saga by Capcom with Resident Evil 7, which worked like a charm in both sales and reviews. After the successful change, Capcom has us in the pocket with the launch of deep remakes of classics as Resident Evil 2, launched this year, and Resident Evil 3, which will arrive in April 2020.
