The product page is already live on GOG, noting what people can expect from its version of the original Resident Evil 2. As expected, it will be playable on Windows 10 and 11, even though it wasn’t before, and there will be no DRM or always online requirement. This version will have new rendering options like Windowed Mode, adjusted cutscenes and subtitles, improved Direct X, a save game manager, and controller support. There will also be bug fixes from the original release, with problems in Rooms 114, 115, 210, and 409 noted to be fixed. You also don’t need to unlock 4th Survivor or Tofu modes for this version. Controller support is present, including for modern options, and the subtitle language options are English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish.
GOG also shared a trailer for Claire’s introductory segment online.
As for the bundle, people can already buy it for $24.99. It includes all three original Resident Evil games with some optimization adjustments. People get Resident Evil and its sequel right away. The page noted the third entry will also appear in 2024.
The original Resident Evil 2 will join GOG on August 27, 2024. It originally appeared on the Dreamcast, GameCube, Nintendo 64, PlayStation, and PC worldwide. The remake of it can be found on the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch (via a Cloud version).
