Publisher GOG has announced they’re re-releasing the original Resident Evil 3 on their platform this month, bringing the trilogy of classic Resident Evil games all onto modern PCs via their store.
The original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is coming to PC (via GOG) this week on September 25th, marking the first time the game has been on PC since its debut over twenty years ago.
Here’s a rundown on the classic game:
Join Jill Valentine, the heroine and amazing survivor of the notorious disaster at the mansion, as her nightmare continues. After resigning from S.T.A.R.S. Jill now prepares to head out of Raccoon City…but it’s not going to be easy. Caught in a town crawling with flesh eating zombies, more than ever she must rely on brute force and cunning to find a way to escape alive. This unique adventure intricately reveals more of Umbrella Corporation’s nightmarish plot and picks up just hours before the events from Resident Evil™ 2.
The third entry in the series received the same treatment as its predecessors – we brought it back and made it the best version possible. Here’s what Resident Evil™ 3 on GOG offers:
- Full compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
- 6 localizations of the game included (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese).
- Mercenaries Mode included.
