A new board game is coming for fans of the survival horror game and you have a chance to back it!

Halloween is just around the corner but the survival horror genre is everlasting when it comes to the number of games you can throw yourself into. Resident Evil is no exception, especially with all the different games in the series, the multiple live-action adaptations it has received. a comic book series, and its very own board games.

And now, it’s receiving another.

Resident Evil: The Board Game

Steamforged Games published a board game for Resident Evil 2 back in 2017 and another for Resident Evil 3 set to release this November. The company announced last month it would be publishing another for the original Capcom video game that started it all. 

Resident Evil: The Board Game is a cooperative survival horror game for 1-4 players that sees players step into the boots of a S.T.A.R. member and enter the sinister Spencer Mansion to uncover the horrifying truths within. Search for secrets as well as survivors and try to survive the night with  crawling with enemies around you.

The  board game features the S.T.A.R. members Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Rebecca Chambers, and Barry Burton as playable figurines and also includes a number of enemy figurines based on classic Resident Evil enemy NPCs.

The company stated it would start a Kickstarter campaign for the board game this autumn. The page finally launched yesterday and…

the board game is already completely funded!

As of writing this, Resident Evil: The Board Game has 4,691 backers and has raised a total of £761,540, which is roughly just over $1,000,000. The Kickstarter campaign still has 14 days to go to receive more funds and backers.

Resident Evil is a timeless series that hasn’t lost its wonder yet, and with more days to go, the board game is certainly going to grow from strength to strength and is the perfect celebration for the 25th anniversary!

The popular Japanese horror game franchise turns 25 this year and is receiving the collector’s boxset treatment

Resident Evil (otherwise known as Biohazard in Japan) is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and Capcom is going all out by releasing three brand new boxsets with all the Resident Evil titles to be including, including the upcoming multiplayer title to be released in 2022.

The Japanese horror franchise is Capcom’s best-selling video game series, with over 117 million units sold as of June 2021. Resident Evil has been successfully remade, readapted, and has had a major influence on the horror and zombie genres overall within pop culture as we know it.

Resident Evil 25th Anniversary Boxsets

The Biohazard Episode Selection box sets will be released for PS4 on November 25 in Japan for ¥5,990 (roughly £40/$55) and have been separated into three, distinctive chapters of the Resident Evil storyline. Each box set features an emblem design that symbolises these chapters.

The first volume titled “Fall of Umbrella” focuses on the events of the first three games and features the HD remastered versions of Resident Evil and its prequel Resident Evil 0, along with the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3.

The second volume titled “Threat of Bioterrorism” focuses on the events of the next three games, Resident Evil 4, 5 and 6, where the games follow various members of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA) as they fight against the remnants of Umbrella Corporation across the world.

Finally, the third volume titled “Story of Ethan Winters” includes the last two games released, Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition and Resident Evil Village. This boxset will also include a product code for the upcoming multiplayer title RE: Verse, set to be released in 2022. This box set will also include 13 postcards featuring the art of previous games.

Unfortunately, the release for these box sets has only been announced for Japan so it is unknown whether they will be released globally, however, you are able to order the collection on Amazon Japan and all orders will include a pinboard-style design of characters. Other selected stores in Japan will be offering bonus digital wallpapers as freebies for fans to collect.
