Resident Evil Origins Collection will include both the upcoming release of
Resident Evil 0 and the recently released critically-acclaimed Resident
Evil HD.
Resident Evil 0
Resident Evil 0, a remastered version of the popular prequel to the original
Resident Evil game, is coming to PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC in early
2016. This remastered version takes the fear-inducing atmosphere from the
original 2002 release and transforms it with stunning new HD visuals, improved
sound, widescreen support and an optional modernized control system and more.
Both series fans and newcomers alike can experience the story of what really
happened before the iconic mansion incident that was the catalyst for the entire
Resident Evil saga.
The story of Resident Evil 0 takes players back to 1998. Reports have been
mounting about unusual murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. The
city's Special Forces division, S.T.A.R.S., sends their Bravo Team –
including rookie cop member Rebecca Chambers – to investigate. On route, the
team's helicopter suffers engine trouble and is forced to make a crash landing,
where they find an overturned prisoner transport vehicle. Splitting up to search
the area, Rebecca discovers the Ecliptic Express, a train stopped dead on the
tracks. Inside, she meets death row convict and ex-Navy lieutenant Billy Coen.
Throughout the game, players will take control of both Rebecca and Billy, at
times switching between both characters in order to proceed. Learning the
advantages of each character is the key to solving puzzles and surviving the
nightmares that lie ahead.

Resident Evil
The hugely popular Resident Evil series, having sold over 62 million units
to date, returns to its roots with a remastered version of the critically
acclaimed masterpiece, Resident Evil . Originally released in 1996, Resident
Evil was then “remade” in 2002 from the ground up with new visuals,
gameplay elements, environments and story details while retaining the survival
horror atmosphere the series had become synonymous for. Both fans of the
franchise who want a trip down memory lane and those who have yet to experience
the game that coined the term survival horror for the gaming world will
appreciate this definitive re-visit of that iconic 2002 Resident
Evil title.

Resident Evil is back. Taking place in the now notorious Raccoon City, players

the city to find the missing Bravo team. When the team is suddenly attacked by a
ferocious group of mutated dogs, desperate for an escape they take shelter in
the Mansion, but will they ever get out alive again? Players will need to be

horrors that await them. With limited ammo and survival items available gamers
