Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 Next-Gen Upgrades Surprise Launched
With Capcom revealing a lot of Resident Evil-related news during its most recent conference, there's a lot for survival horror fans to be excited about. This list now includes the next-gen launch of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7, which arrived sooner than most would have expected.
