Renowned Japanese Video game company Capcom is set to re-release the original 1996 Resident Evil game on PC. This news arose after a recent rating given by Europe's Pan European Game Information (PEGI) board, which has cleared the game for a PC launch. The PEGI rating page has reportedly disclosed an exact release date, indicating that the classic instalment will be available this week.
Originally launched in 1996, Resident Evil has since become a cornerstone of survival-horror gaming, introducing players to the eerie Spencer Mansion and the sinister Umbrella Corporation. The re-release aims to bring the original experience to a new generation of players, offering them the chance to relive the iconic moments that defined the genre.
Which version of the game will be released?
This re-release is expected to be faithful to the original, preserving the atmospheric tension and gameplay mechanics that made Resident Evil a beloved title. Fans eagerly await the chance to play the legendary PC game once again on modern platforms.

There are two versions of Resident Evil available: the original and the director's cut, which features additional weapon types, unique item locations, and collectable outfits. It's unclear which version of the game has been graded by PEGI for a prospective re-release. The PlayStation Plus Classics collection offers access to Resident Evil: Director's Cut for PlayStation.
Resident Evil Zero is apparently one of two more remakes in development, following the release of the Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 remakes alongside new mainline entries. Reimagining Resident Evil: Code Veronica may be added to Capcom's list of Resident Evil games that it confirmed was redone last year, along with the prequel.
