Resident Evil Summer Sale Hits a New Low and Sparks Debate

·Author: Taylor Park·newsDetail.views: 2,557 Comments

Resident Evil's summer sale is now live, with multiple entries across the series hitting all-time low prices in the Gamersky App game store. The lineup spans Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil HD, Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil Requiem, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, Resident Evil 4, and both Revelations games. The article pitches it as the perfect time to fill in the gaps, and the promotion stands out not just for its breadth, but because the store now supports gold coin discounts for extra savings on top of the sale prices.

The sale is broad enough to cover just about every kind of Resident Evil player. If you want the series' starting point, Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil HD are the obvious places to begin. The Resident Evil 0 remaster includes HD visuals, optional modernized controls, and more new elements. Resident Evil HD is presented as a remade high-definition version of the original Resident Evil. Both lean into classic survival horror: tighter spaces, limited resources, and a slower, more deliberate pace.

If you're after the series' more modern style, Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village are the obvious picks. Resident Evil 7 moves the setting to an abandoned farmhouse in the American South and uses an "Isolated View" perspective, leaning on the realistic horror style delivered by the RE ENGINE development team. Resident Evil Village, the 8th mainline entry in the series and also built with RE ENGINE, continues Ethan's story as Chris Redfield throws the family back into chaos. Taken together, the two games represent the series' newer horror direction.

For many players, the main draw will be the three remakes. Resident Evil 2 is set during the September 1998 biohazard disaster in Raccoon City. Resident Evil 3 depicts Raccoon City's sudden biological disaster and also includes Resident Evil Resistance. Resident Evil 4 jumps ahead to six years after the "Raccoon City incident," with Leon now working as an agent on a mission to rescue the President's daughter. Together, the three revisit familiar stories with updated controls, camera work, and pacing.

If you're looking at the side entries, Resident Evil Revelations and Resident Evil Revelations 2 Deluxe Edition are also well worth a look. The first reveals the fish-borne pathogen virus "The Abyss", which was fused with the T-virus to create the marine viral bio-weapon "T-Abyss." The second is described as continuing the series' widely praised survival horror experience while gradually uncovering the truth behind it all. They may not be the most talked-about games in the series, but they make sense for players who have already finished the mainline entries and want a fuller timeline.

As a sale, it breaks down into three clear ways to buy in. Newcomers should start with Resident Evil 2 or Resident Evil 7: one is the flagship modern remake, the other is the turning point for the series' newer horror style. Longtime players catching up should prioritize Resident Evil 0 plus the two Revelations games. And if you're here for the newest direction, it makes sense to move from Resident Evil Village toward Resident Evil Requiem, which the article describes as marking a new era for both the series and survival horror games.

The other obvious draw is value. The Gamersky App game store has now launched its "game purchases support gold coin deductions" feature, letting players stack another discount on top of these all-time low prices. For a franchise with a long timeline, a large catalog, and sharp shifts in style, making so many entry points cheap at once matters more than discounting just one or two titles. That's a big part of why this Resident Evil sale has drawn so much attention from players.
