The European rating board, PEGI, recently <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gematsu\/status\/1802945852689801265\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">listed<\/a> the game for PC, sparking excitement among fans.<\/p>\n<p>The original <em>Resident Evil<\/em> was available on PC back in 1996, but it is no longer accessible on modern storefronts like Steam. Currently, none of the initial <em>Resident Evil<\/em> games are available for purchase on these platforms. PlayStation Plus offers the remixed Director\u2019s Cut version in its classics library.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The original Resident Evil (1996) has been rated for PC in Europe. Resident Evil was technically already released for PC in 1996, but I guess it&#39;s not actually available via Steam or any digital marketplaces these days. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hVHlkCWRrx\">pic.twitter.com\/hVHlkCWRrx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Gematsu (@gematsu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gematsu\/status\/1802945852689801265?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 18, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Capcom has successfully released three remakes of <em>RE <\/em>games in the past five years. Yasuhiro Anpo, director of the <em>Resident Evil 4<\/em> remake, confirmed the company&#8217;s plans to release more remakes. \u201cWe\u2019ve released three remakes so far, and they have all been received very well,\u201d Anpo stated (thanks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.videogameschronicle.com\/news\/it-looks-like-the-original-resident-evil-could-be-re-released-for-pc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VGC<\/a>). He expressed joy in making these older games available to modern audiences and indicated that more announcements would come in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Fans are hopeful that this re-release might include the entire original trilogy. The availability of the first game on PC raises speculation about the possible re-release of the second and third titles as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Resident Evil
