Classic Resident Evil 3 will return to sale very soon. In honor of its 25th anniversary, the horror game was adapted for modern OS and received controller support

The Resident Evil franchise has been around for many years. Sometimes Capcom remembers the classics and releases updated versions, and at times brings back the originals.

In 2024, Capcom continues to look back at the origins of the Resident Evil series. RE 1 and RE 2 have already returned to sale — they can be found on GOG, and now the third numbered installment is on the way.

The original Resident Evil 3 Nemesis was released in 1999, meaning it turns 25 this September. In a few days, it will go on sale in the GOG store.

If nothing changes, sales of Resident Evil 3 will launch on September 25; the page on GOG is already live and available at the following link.

This will be the original version of Resident Evil 3 adapted for modern systems:

• Compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems.
• 6 game localizations (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese).
• “The Mercenaries” mode (Mercenaries Mode) available.
• Improved DirectX rendering.
• New options (windowed mode, vertical sync control, gamma adjustment, anti-aliasing, and much more).
• Improved graphics engine initialization and restart.
• Improvements to video subtitles (in cutscenes) and dialogue options.
• Seamless task switching.
• Improved mouse cursor visibility.
• 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 others) with optimal button mapping regardless of hardware and wireless mode.
