The original Resident Evil 2 will be re-released on August 27. While modern fans may be most familiar with the Resident Evil 2 remake that was released five years ago, the original RE2 is still considered one of the very best survival-horror games ever made. Unfortunately, those interested in playing the original Resident Evil 2, or any of the classic Resident Evil games for that matter, have been largely unable to do so on modern hardware - until recently, at least.
Recently, Capcom and GOG teamed up to bring the original Resident Evil game back. The original Resident Evil hit GOG with quality-of-life improvements and earned rave reviews from PC gamers. At the time the original Resident Evil was confirmed for GOG, it was also revealed that there were plans to revive the OG Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis as well.
Resident Evil 2 explored the realm of body horror to great effect, and future games in the franchise ought to follow its lead.
Resident Evil enthusiasts are still waiting to hear when exactly they'll be able to play Resident Evil 3: Nemesis again, but they can now safely mark their calendars...
