The port’s upcoming release isn’t all that surprising, though - just a few months ago, a port of the original Resident Evil game dropped on GOG with the sequel following soon after. The company stated all three of the series' OG titles would eventually be purchasable on the storefront, either separately or within abundle. The third is the final to come, marking the re-release of another one of thebest Resident Evil games.
Fans interested in completing the classic collection can wishlist Resident Evil 3 viaGOGbefore it launches this Wednesday. Much like the first and second games, the third should cost $11.37 - or just $26.56 for the trio in its entirety if purchasing the bundle. It’s a small price to pay for a timeless spooktacular experience, I’d say - especially with Halloween now being right around the corner.
