Now with Resident Evil 4 Remake On everyone’s lips, I think it’s a good time to refresh your memory on one of the sagas with the most titles in the horror genre. And it is that yes, when a franchise has so many video games, it is common to see that there are time jumps in their frames.

Despite this, in resident Evil there are not too many time jumps, but yes the chronological order of the story of the whole saga is different from the order in which the games were released. So I bring you the order in which you must play this saga before the launch of the remake of the fourth opus.

Resident Evil 4 Remake

  • Resident Evil 4 is a remake of the original game released in 2005. Which returns in 2023.
  • Resident Evil 4 retains the essence of the original while using the RE Engine to modernize gameplay, a rewritten story, and next-gen graphics.
  • Six years have passed since the biological disaster in Raccoon City. Leon S. Kennedy, one of the survivors, was appointed Special Government Agent to the President…

In what order to play the Resident Evil saga

Of course, when it comes to franchises this long where there are a lot of games with time jumps back and forth, There are two ways to interpret the order of playing them, and it already depends on your taste.

in release order

You can play the series like you play each game as they come out, i.e. in the order of release. However, this is not the chronological order of the saga’s story, so you will be going back and forth in time. Of course, since the games were released in that order, you’ll see that mechanics and graphics improve from game to game, so there you will notice a gradual improvement. The order would be:

  1. resident Evil (1997)
  2. Resident Evil 2 (1998)
  3. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999)
  4. Resident Evil Code: Veronica (2000)
  5. Resident Evil Zero (2003)
  6. Resident Evil 4 (2005)
  7. resident evil 5 (2009)
  8. Resident Evil 6 (2012)
  9. Resident Evil: Revelations (2013)
  10. Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (2015)
  11. Resident Evil 7 (2017)
  12. (Optional) Resident Evil 2 Remake (2019)
  13. (Optional) Resident Evil 3 Remake (2020)
  14. Resident Evil: Village (2021)
  15. (Optional) Resident Evil 4 Remake (2023)

In chronological order

Now I will tell you in which order to play the saga if you want to follow the course of history without jumping back or forward in time.
