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>.
