Reflecting on the history of Resident Evil and PlayStation, it’s clear how intertwined they have become since the inception of the franchise. Starting in 1996, the original Resident Evil set the stage, featuring characters Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine in a chilling mansion filled with zombies, marking the beginning of a beloved tradition in gaming. Its successors, Resident Evil 2 and 3, brought new dimensions to the storytelling, immersing players in Raccoon City through the eyes of characters like Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield.
As the franchise evolved, Resident Evil 4 introduced exclusive chapters and significant innovations, while Resident Evil 7 broke ground with its first-person perspective and VR support. The more recent Resident Evil Village continued to build on these foundations, delivering a gripping narrative centered around Ethan Winters.
With pivotal titles such as Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village now available on PlayStation, along with the reimagined remakes of earlier installments, players are encouraged to delve into this rich history. As we approach the release of Resident Evil Requiem, the excitement is palpable, and it promises to add another remarkable chapter to this iconic series.
