History

Historical Context

Capcom's Resident Evil, released in 1996, pioneered the survival horror genre, introducing players to a zombie-infested mansion and establishing gameplay conventions like inventory management. By 2022, the franchise had sold over 135 million copies, influencing both gaming and popular culture, including a resurgence of zombie-themed media. The upcoming Resident Evil Requiem, set for release on February 27, 2026, continues this legacy.
