Resident Evil

How many Resident Evil games are available?

Resident Evil has more than a dozen major console and PC releases, plus a larger catalog of spin-offs, remakes, and multiplayer side projects. The exact total depends on whether you count only mainline entries, major buyable releases, or the full extended catalog. For most players, the key lineup is the major console and PC games that are still commercially relevant and easy to buy today.

What is the newest Resident Evil game?

The newest major Resident Evil release is Resident Evil Requiem, which launched on February 27, 2026. It continues Capcom’s current run of modern big-budget Resident Evil releases after Resident Evil Village and the Resident Evil 4 remake.

What is the oldest Resident Evil game you can still buy?

The oldest Resident Evil game you can still buy is the original Resident Evil (1996), which is available again on some modern storefronts. Availability can vary by platform and region, so the earliest widely accessible modern starting point is still the 2002 Resident Evil remake, which remains one of the best ways to experience the series’ roots.

Where should new players start?

New players usually start with Resident Evil 2 (2019), Resident Evil 4 (2023), or Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Resident Evil 2 is the best all-round entry if you want classic survival horror with modern controls. Resident Evil 4 is a stronger pick if you prefer faster combat and a more action-heavy pace. Resident Evil 7 works best for players who want a darker, more intimate first-person horror experience.
