When it comes to Resident Evil, we're sure you've all got your favourites. Then again, we'd like to find the person who's putting Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps at the top of their list. Capcom's shuffling series has never really gone away, but ever since the release of Resident Evil 7 in 2017, the franchise has been hard to escape.
Aside from mainline entries like Village and Requiem, we've also had a slew of new-gen Resident Evil remakes.
Even 2020's Resident Evil 3 remake gets a sometimes unfair reputation.
Now, fans are flocking to an (itchy) tasty deal where you can build out your collection.
Advert
Fanatical is currently offering a two for $12.99/£12.99 deal on a whole host of Resiverse entries. You can also nab three games for $18.99 and splash out on four for $24.99. Considering the standard edition of 2019's Resident Evil 2 (held by many as the best remake) is currently $39.99/£34.99 on Steam, you can see how some serious savings can be made.
Currently in the offer, you can get a triple pack of the first three games in their original form, a double pack of RE6 and RE7, a deluxe double pack of both Revelations games, a double pack of Resident Evil HD and RE0, RE4 and RE5 bundled together, Resident Evil Village on its own, or single versions of both the RE2 remake and the RE3 remake. If you're savvy, you could tick off any games that might be missing from your catalog, or simply satiate your hunger by revisiting some of the old guard you've not played in a while.
Similar to how you can save a not-so-small fortune on the Resident Evil 2 remake, the fact that Village is also $39.99/£34.99 on Steam shows what you could be missing out on.
You'd better be quick because many on Reddit complained that some appeared to be selling out, although at the time of writing, all these games are still available to buy.
We're not surprised there's so much attention on the Resiverse right now, with the recent success of Requiem pushing players back into the franchise. In particular, the fact that Resident Evil 2 feels like a must-play ahead of Requiem means you should definitely be checking it out in whichever version you want.

If building bundles isn't for you, there's plenty more going on in and around Raccoon City. Resident Evil Veronica is due to release in 2027, and even though Resident Evil – Code: Veronica sadly doesn't appear in this bundle, the long-awaited revamp will be here before we know it. Also, if Requiem's "Leon Must Die Forever" wasn't your thing, a full-blown DLC is launching on July 30.
There were worrying reports that the DLC had been delayed indefinitely, so we were happy to learn one is officially on the way.
Given how long it took us to get Village's somewhat disappointing Shadows of Rose expansion, it's good news that Capcom is cashing in while the hype is still there.
It might be too much to hope for some sort of tease about where the inevitable Resident Evil 10 will take things, but in a series that has taught us to expect the unexpected, we'll take all the Resident Evil we can.
