GOG.com announces it is partnering with Capcom to bring the original Resident Evil Trilogy back to PC, and Resident Evil is available right now,* offering the first game in the survival/horror series. Though it includes some technical improvements to rendering and controller support, this is not a remaster or a remake. Word is: "Our version of the game keeps all the original content intact – 1996's description is no exception." The listings for the returns of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 are also live, each showing "coming soon" as a release date. Here's a rundown of how the RE1 re-release differs from the version launched almost 30 years ago:

The iconic classic is back, better than ever, and made to last forever. Here's how we ensured it and what you can expect with GOG's version of the game:

• Full compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
• All 4 localizations of the game included (English, German, French, Japanese).
• Improved DirectX game renderer.
• New rendering options (Windowed Mode, Vertical Synchronization Control, Gamma Correction, Integer Scaling, Anti-Aliasing and more).
• Improved timing of the cutscenes.
• Improved game video player.
• Improved game registry settings.
• Issue-free game exit and task switching.
• Full support for modern controllers (Sony DualSense, Sony DualShock4, Microsoft Xbox Series, Microsoft Xbox One, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, Logitech F series and many more) with optimal button binding regardless of the hardware and wireless mode.
