The public&#8217;s reception makes it clear that there is significant interest in classic titles within a landscape that continues to be dominated by more modern remakes.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why would you want to play old games?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the beginning, Capcom was not convinced about re-releasing the original versions, considering that the remakes offered a superior experience. However, <strong>the persuasion of GOG was crucial in convincing the developer that the remakes and the originals can coexist and complement each other<\/strong>. According to Marcin Paczynski from GOG, it was necessary to explain that there was a considerable group of nostalgic players willing to rediscover the story and legacy of Resident Evil, which resulted in a massive adoption of these classics on the GOG and PS Store platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Resident Evil 3 OUT NOW | Intro [GOG]\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kcR3EvBA3p0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The success of the relaunch has led Capcom to reflect on its approach to the value of original games, recognizing that remakes do not replace classics, but rather enrich them. <strong>In this context, the release of Resident Evil 9 is anticipated, scheduled for the end of February 2026<\/strong>. Additionally, rumors suggest that Capcom is working on remakes of Resident Evil 0 and Code Veronica, indicating a continued strategy to revitalize beloved works for fans.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, <strong>the recent revival of classic titles has shown that there is a significant place in the video game industry for works that have laid the foundations for current success<\/strong>, and it represents an important lesson about the connection between nostalgia and innovation in digital entertainment.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Steam\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3047d89c-96d0-11e6-8546-00163ed833e7\/2505233623\/steam-download.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Steam<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The original games of Resident Evil 1, 2, and 3 have returned to PC, giving fans of the iconic franchise the opportunity to relive the experiences that marked its beginnings.
