Resident Evil is the reigning champion of survival horror at the present moment. Over the course of nearly 30 years, Capcom has played an essential part in creating and codifying the genre. Throughout, it has navigated Resident Evil from the heights of success to finding itself in danger of losing relevance, and in recent years, back to being on top of the scene. Along the way, the series has reinvented itself multiple times, and in the process solidified RE as an unrivaled industry leader, particularly regarding its remakes.
