The entire Resident Evil series is at its all-time low price—this is the perfect time to jump in.

When I came across this wave of sale news in the early hours, my first reaction wasn’t excitement, but that familiar chill down my spine. Not the kind of cold you feel when a monster chases you into a corner, but the kind that hits when you see the entire Resident Evil series dropping to all-time lows at once, and your wallet senses the danger before you do. Even more unsettling, this isn’t just an ordinary discount—the main pitch is straight-up “the full bundle at a new historic low,” and the GamerSky App store also supports gold coin deductions, meaning the discounts can stack even further.

If you’re a veteran player, this wave feels more like a chance to fill in missing tickets and complete the collection; if you’re a newcomer, it practically lays out the entire evolutionary history of survival horror right in front of you. From the early Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil HD, to Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake, and Resident Evil 4 Remake, then on to Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil Village, and Resident Evil 9: Requiem, this recommended lineup covers almost the entire backbone of the franchise. Once you take a step back, you realize this isn’t a single-game clearance sale, but a remarkably comprehensive series-wide promotion.

I’ve always felt that what makes Resident Evil so powerful isn’t that it throws monsters in your face, but that it knows exactly how to make the air feel heavier. Resident Evil 2 Remake nails the timeline to Raccoon City in September 1998, and that suffocating sense of collapse after order breaks down tightens around your nerves like a slow boil; Resident Evil 3 Remake pushes the sudden bioterror disaster into an even more frantic pace, while also including Resident Evil Resistance. But what truly scared me wasn’t that—it was the abandoned farmhouse in the American South in Resident Evil 7, paired with the even more terrifying “isolation view” mode, making the whole experience feel like being locked inside a home video you can never wake up from.

This lineup also includes two entries that are easy to underestimate. Resident Evil: Revelations takes the pathogen concept into deep-sea fish, discovering the “Abyss” virus and then fusing it with the T-virus to create the marine viral bioweapon T-Abyss—a premise that carries its own damp, unsettling strangeness; Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Deluxe Edition (including all episodes) leans more toward a slow-burning suspense build, with its appeal lying not in cheap jump scares, but in steadily peeling back the truth. To put it dryly, some games spawn monsters like they’re clocking in for work, until the horror turns into exhaustion, while the Revelations series at least understands that restraint is worth more than mindless lunging.

If you’re planning to buy based on your tastes, my advice is simple. If you want to experience the roots of classic survival horror, start with Resident Evil HD or Resident Evil 0, which comes with HD visuals and modernized control options; if you want to see Capcom’s most reliable modern remake craftsmanship, prioritize Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 4 Remake; if you prefer the immersive pressure of first-person horror, go straight for Resident Evil 7 and then follow it up with Resident Evil Village. Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 lean more toward action, and the Resident Evil 5 page specifically notes that if you purchase the Untold Stories Bundle on Steam, the content will be upgraded to match Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition, which is genuinely useful information for anyone looking to complete the DLC.

Looking further ahead, Resident Evil Village is clearly established as the 8th mainline entry in the series, built with RE ENGINE, with Ethan once again plunging into a nightmare; and Resident Evil 9: Requiem, also known as Resident Evil Requiem, is already being positioned in official descriptions as the point where “the series and survival horror games enter a new era.” The signal is obvious: Capcom isn’t just living off old successes. It’s using historic-low pricing to expand its player base while also building momentum for the next phase. For players, this is the perfect moment to catch up on the series and finally trace that line of fear clearly in one go—from the mansion, to Raccoon City, to the farmhouse, and into the new era.

One final reminder: beyond the historic-low prices themselves, the GamerSky APP game store has already launched a “game purchases support gold coin deductions” feature, allowing gold coins to be used directly as cash discounts. For players looking to pick up several titles in one go, this kind of stacked discount is even more dangerous than simply saving a few dozen yuan. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to properly dive into Resident Evil, then this is probably the loudest that door has ever swung open.
