Resident Evil 3 remake is set to release this April, which is the latest title in the original RE trilogy to get a remake.

Onimusha’s story, similar to Nioh , takes place during the Sengoku period of Japanese history. Players took control of the samurai Samanosuke in fighting against many demons in their adventure to save a princess named Yuki from the dem

The objective of the game is either for the survivors to successfully escape before time runs out or for the Mastermind to stop them. The Mastermind uses multiple cameras through the facility map to keep surveillance on the survivors while utilizing different cards to spawn traps and monsters, such as zombies, zombie dogs, lickers, and even the Tyrant itself, Mr. X.

Given the recent popularity in Souls-like action-adventure games based in mythological or historical East Asian settings, such as Nioh, Sekiro and the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima , a remake of Onimusha could be a smart move by Capcom.

Other enemies from the original Resident Evil 3 game, including Brain Suckers, Drain Demos, Zombie Dogs, and even a Tyrant T-103 have not yet been confirmed.

It infected zombies, making them even more deadly and host

While not part of the main series, technically, Resident Evil: Code Veronica might as well be considered part of the overall inclusion, given its deep story and fairly strong integration into the main chronology of the series’ lore and plot. Code Veronica presented one of the most unique and complex storylines in the Resident Evil series, which gave a ton of insight into another one of Umbrella Corporation’s founders, Edward Ashford, and his family lineage. Code Veronica took players on a grand adventure Game news that spanned Umbrella’s Rockfort Prison island, all the way to their secret Antarctic facil

One returning location that players will be able to explore is the Stagla gas station from the 1999 game. Resident Evil 3 veterans would remember that it is in the gas station where the oil can be found, which has to be mixed with an oil additive before it can be used to restart the cable car.
