After a long time of moving closer to the action side of things, Capcom decided to bring back to its roots with the recently released 7: Biohazard. The series has even branched out to provide movies (live action and animated), books, and toys. There have still been survival-horror entries every now and then, but we’ve seen rail shooters, mobile games, third-person shooters, co-op experiences, and more. Since then, the series has seen a lot of changes.
It helped to define the survival-horror genre and make it a mainstay in the industry, with many other series seeking to capture the same essence that made an instant classic. The Resident Evil series has been around since 1996 when the first ever game was released on the PlayStation.
