How Many Resident Evil Games Are There?

Resident Evil is one of the most important survival horror series in gaming history. The franchise introduced a heart-thumping zombie setting with just as many puzzles to solve as zombies to shoot. Stay alive, solve the game’s underlying mystery, and try not to get too scared.

In 1996, Capcom launched the first Resident Evil game for PlayStation 1 as a spiritual successor to Famicom Japanese survival horror game Sweet Home. The title quickly became a breakout hit and spawned two sequels and a spin-off for the original PS1, followed by dozens of follow-ups over the next four console generations.

Most recently, Capcom released Resident Evil Village for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, ushering the series in to next-generation graphics and gameplay.
