All Resident Evil games in order, by release date and chronologically

By

There are almost no survival horror games that last for more than few entries, let alone ones that have persisted for decades like Resident Evil. This series had humble beginnings as a small horror experience set in a single mansion to explore, solve puzzles, and fight against the clunky tank controls and fixed camera angles. Since then, the series has evolved and grown into one of the most recognizable Capcom IPs there is, with new entries and amazing remakes coming out almost every year.

Currently, the highest-numbered Resident Evil game is 8, aka Village, but you would be wildly off if you thought there were only eight entries to consider when looking to complete the series. Right from the start, Resident Evil has loved expanding its world with a massive cast of characters and new protagonists from game to game. Resident Evil 7 was a soft reboot for the series, but there is still a cannon order to the events surrounding Umbrella, the various zombie viruses, and all our favorite heroes like Chris and Leon.

In a series that borders on science-fantasy and spreads its story out among multiple consoles and sub-series, we forgive you for not being able to keep it all in order. This is a simple guide on how to play all the Resident Evil games in order of release and chronologically.

All Resident Evil games in chronological order

The small cast of characters of the first game has exploded into a massive web of friends, foes, companies, and conspiracies. Games have been placed before, after, and even during the events of other games to make it even harder to keep up with the overall plot. Most even take place within months of one another. They all do follow a very consistent timeline once you untangle it, though.

Playing the series in chronological order could make the twisting tale more digestible, or help you piece together the events better in your mind after the fact. Either way, this is how the series plays out sequentially, leaving out any game that doesn’t add to the plot or is no longer cannon we included in the full list above.

  • Resident Evil Zero (July 1998)
  • Resident Evil (July 1998)
  • Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (September-October, 1998)
  • Resident Evil 2 (September 1998)
  • Resident Evil Survivor (November 1998)
  • Resident Evil Code: Veronica (December 1998)
  • Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles (2002)
  • Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (February 2003)
  • Resident Evil 4 (2004)
  • Resident Evil: Revelations (2004-2005)
  • Resident Evil 5 (2006-2009)
  • Resident Evil Revelations 2 (2011)
  • Resident Evil 6 (2012)
  • Resident Evil 7 (2017)
  • Resident Evil Village (2020)

Resident Evil 9: everything we know so far
Ethan Winters shoots Lycans in Resident Evil Village.

One of the longest-running franchises in gaming is Capcom's Resident Evil. While the series has hit many stumbling points over the years, Resident Evil 7 was a turning point that brought the survival horror series back into the mainstream. Now, the series has split into the new games and a string of equally excellent remakes. As fun as revisiting those classic games are, it is the new entries that have fans most excited, especially given  where Resident Evil 8 left things. That obviously means Resident Evil 9 is next up for the core series, but what will that game look like and when can we expect it? Details are more secretive than the Umbrella Corporation's agenda, but we've collected as many documents as possible to give you all the intel we could find.

There's no official release window for Resident Evil 9. In fact, we only know that it is being made and that Resident Evil 7 Director Koshi Nakanishi will return to direct this entry.

Silent Hill 2 remake: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more
Pyramid Head walking in the rain.

Rumors about the Silent Hill 2 remake have faded into the fog, and it has become a reality. The classic title is considered by most to be one of the best horror games of all time, and now it is getting a complete remake. Unlike the disappointment that was the HD Collection, the game will be fully re-created from the ground up for modern hardware. Still, with such a beloved game and Konami's troubling track record in recent years, fans may have more concern than excitement about this announcement.

Aside from a new graphical overhaul, remakes can mean many different things. For Silent Hill 2, the question of exactly what will be -- and more importantly, won't be -- changed is on the minds of the dedicated fan base that holds the original in such high esteem. While Konami didn't fully clear the fog on what Silent Hill 2 will be this time around, we turned on our radios, checked every locked door, and managed to come out alive with everything you need to know about the Silent Hill 2 remake.
