We may now know the solution to Capcom's devious Resident Evil Requiem Final Puzzle, but a whole new mystery is just beginning for fans — one centered on Leon S. Kennedy, and a huge secret that's only hinted at in the game's closing moments.

Warning: Spoilers for Resident Evil Requiem follow.

Concept artwork for Leon S. Kennedy unlocked after beating Resident Evil Requiem shows a look at the hero's hand... wearing a wedding band.

There are two versions of this artwork: one where Leon's hand is infected and ring-less, and one without the infection where a silver ring can be seen, worn on his ring finger.

Leon spends most of his time in Requiem showing signs of nasty infection — something he hides under a pair of gloves. (Even if you unlock alternate glove-less outfits, he still appears to be ring-less.)

Pokémon TCG's next Mega Evolution expansion, Perfect Order, is set to release on March 27. It's been hard to come by at major retailers, at least at MSRP prices.

But a recent preorder surge at Target (which is now out of stock again) has seemingly added to the ongoing price crash for Perfect Order products, such as the Elite Trainer Box, at resale marketplaces at like TCGplayer.

For a limited time, Target had preorders available for the Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box at $59.99, which is the best price we've seen on an ETB in a long time. If you missed out, hard luck this time. But, not all hope is lost, as long as you're okay with paying just a bit more.

Over the past month, the Perfect Order Elite Trainer Boxes have dropped from a high of $145.92 resale at trusted marketplace TCGplayer, to an all-time low of $94.48. Market price is currently sitting at $95.88, and has been on a steady decline, dropping -26.76% in just the past 30 days.

Target's latest restock could potentially even sink the ETB market price further, and we'll have to keep an eye on it over the next couple of weeks to see how things stablize.

If you’re fairly online, like we are, you probably heard about the viral rumor that Jim Carrey, or, more specifically, the Jim Carrey who recently accepted an honorary award at the Cesar Awards in Paris, was a clone. However, the festival’s general delegate, Gregory Caulier, is setting the record straight by revealing that The Mask, Liar Liar, and The Truman Show star underwent months of planning ahead of his appearance at the ceremony.

Jim Carrey's Speech Translated from French To English...Where is the Real Jim Carrey? pic.twitter.com/8ogBOCcswx

— Melanie King (@realmelanieking) February 28, 2026

“Jim Carrey’s visit has been planned since this summer. From the outset, he was extremely touched by the Academy’s invitation,” Caulier told Variety, noting how much went into Carrey’s speech spoken entirely in French. “Eight months of ongoing, constructive discussions. He worked on his speech in French for months, asking me about the exact pronunciation of certain words.”

He added, “[Carrey] came with his partner, his daughter, his grandson and 12 close friends and family members. His longtime publicist accompanied him. His old friend Michel Gondry, who has made a film and two series with him, was there, and they were delighted to see each other again.” Gondry directed the 2004 heartbreaker Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, widely regarded as one of Carrey’s best films, and presented the actor with his award.

Finally, the delegate noted that the rumor is neither here nor there. “For me, it’s a non-issue,” Caulier’s statement concluded. “I just remember his generosity, his kindness, his benevolence, his elegance.”

Indie games have the freedom to experiment with different genre elements to create something unique, and that’s a pretty good encapsulation of The Abbess Garden, from first-time developer MD Studio and publishing platform indie.io. Your job is to tend a garden in France in 1643, but you’ll dig up more than just plants. You’ll also discover buried objects and uncover secrets that could be dangerous in the wrong hands.

At its heart, The Abbess Garden is a cozy gardening game. Set at the abbey of Port-Royal-des-Champs, a real French historical site, you’re entrusted with caring for the Abbess’s private garden, a patch of land that nobody has been allowed to enter in years. Time has taken its toll, and you’ll need to clear it of the wild growth that’s overtaken it and figure out how to bring it back to its previous glory.

That sounds pretty simple, but is a bit more complicated in practice. You’ll need to use actual botany, getting to know real-life plants and what each needs to thrive. This isn’t a grid-based game where you plant seeds in predetermined slots. Your garden is an open area where you can plant what you want where you want, but just like real life, certain plants need certain conditions to survive.

Things like soil type, moisture level, and proximity to other plants all matter. And as the seasons change, you’ll need to keep an eye on your plants, assess when the right time is to harvest them, and plant new seeds better suited to the current conditions. And these details won’t be spelled out for you. You’ll need to experiment, take notes, figure out what’s making some plants flourish and others struggle, and adjust accordingly.

While tending to your garden, you can explore the grounds and discover hidden objects that will fill out your collection book and trigger new quests and conversations with the local townsfolk. One such item you’ll unearth is a cryptic book written by a dead spy. It holds secrets that would be of interest to European royalty, so you’ll need to work together with your neighbors to figure out what exactly it all means.

Though this does pull you into some political intrigue and court drama, you’re never in any real danger. This is still a cozy game, after all. And it’s a game meant to be enjoyed at your own pace. Linear quests will open as you uncover new items, but they aren’t timed. If you want to spend days just tending your garden before moving on to the next step of the quest, you can.

In the process of completing these quests, you’ll get to know your neighbors and can build relationships with them. There are NPCs based on real people and events from French history, and while building these relationships, you can find romance. So the basic goal of the game is to build a beautiful garden, solve a mystery, and live happily ever after.

The Abbess Garden is available on Steam and the indie.io Store now for $9.99, a 20% launch discount that will be available for a limited time. It’s also playable on the Steam Deck, and a bundle is available that includes both the game and its soundtrack with an additional discount.

DC's upcoming Superman/Spider-Man #1 crossover special is undoubtedly going to be one of the biggest comic book releases of 2026. Unsurprisingly, DC is going all-out when it comes to variant covers for this issue, as some of the biggest names in comics have been tapped to render epic team-ups between our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and the Man of Tomorrow.

Check out the slideshow gallery below to see every cover released for Superman/Spider-Man #1 so far. You'll also find two pages of interior art, one from the main story by Mark Waid and Jorge Jiménez and another from Tom King and Jim Lee's backup tale.

Lee's Gambit page seen above is especially noteworthy, as it marks the first time in several decades that Lee has drawn a story with a Marvel character.

The creative team on Superman/Spider-Man #1 includes writers Mark Waid, Tom King, Matt Fraction, Sean Murphy, Gail Simone, Christopher Priest, Greg Rucka, and Jeff Lemire, and artists Jorge Jiménez, Jim Lee, Steve Lieber, Sean Murphy, Belén Ortega, Daniel Sampere, Nicola Scott, and Rafa Sandoval.

Superman/Spider-Man #1 will be released on March 25, 2026. You can preorder a copy at your local comic shop.

That's not the only crossover fun from DC and Marvel in 2026. Marvel will follow up this release with its own Spider-Man/Superman #1 crossover in April. The two publishers are also joining forces to rerelease 1976's Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man #1 and reprint the trade paperback for 2004's JLA/Avengers.

IGN can exclusively debut the brand new trailer for Rooster Fighter, Adult Swim’s upcoming anime adaptation of Shu Sakuratani’s manga.

You can watch the trailer via the player above or the embed below.

“Keiji is more than just an ordinary rooster—he’s humanity’s greatest defender!,” according to the official plot synopsis.

“When strange creatures suddenly appear and start attacking, he confronts them head-on while scoffing, ‘You make my crown curl!’ His opponents may be ten stories tall, but nothing is bigger than his stout heart and his fearsome battle cry—Kokekokko!”

The English dub voice cast of Rooster Fish includes:

• Keiji – Patrick Seitz (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, One Piece)
• Elizabeth – Luci Christian (One Piece, My Hero Academia)
• Piyoko – Kimoy Lee (WITCH WATCH)
• Keisuke – Robbie Daymond (JUJUTSU KAISEN, Sailor Moon)
• Morio – Roger Rose (Fire Emblem Fates)

Produced by VIZ and HERO’s INC., the 12-episode series premieres on Saturday, March 14 at midnight ET/PT, as part of Adult Swim’s Toonami anime/action block.

New English-language episodes will then drop every subsequent Saturday evening at midnight.

IGN broke the news about the Rooster Fighter anime back at San Diego Comic-Con 2024.

Apple announced a new iPad and iPhone today; the budget iPhone 17e and an updated iPad Air, both upgrades to models released last year. The devices are each available for preorder on March 4 and will go up for sale on March 11.

The iPhone 17e gets some key upgrades over the 16e that came before it, including the addition of MagSafe wireless charging at 15W – the 16e had wireless charging but no magnets, and topped out at 7.5W – and a new pink color (joining the black and white of last year’s model). The phone also gets an upgraded version of Apple’s in-house designed C1 cellular modem, this time called the C1X.

Otherwise, the iPhone 17e is a spec bump, with an A19 chip instead of A18, and double the entry-level storage at 256GB. That's not a bad thing, though; internally, the 17e will be very similar to the iPhone 17, which we think is the best iPhone for most people. It'll just be missing a few features like true dual cameras and the Dynamic Island cutout, and although it has an OLED display, it'll be 60Hz instead of 120Hz. Incredibly, in this time of rapidly inflating tech prices, the phone still starts at $599.

Then there’s the new iPad Air, a more straightforward spec bump that outfits it with an M4 chip and Apple’s new N1 networking chip – which handles the iPad Air’s Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread connectivity – and C1X cellular modem. The company says the tablet, despite having the same processor core counts (8-core CPU, 9-core GPU, 16-core NPU), will be “up to 30 percent faster” than the M3 iPad Air, which is already one of the best tablets you can buy, and a whopping 2.3 times faster than the M1 version released in 2022. The new iPad Air will also have 12GB of RAM and, as before, will come in 11- and- 13-inch versions. It also starts at $599.

The first teaser image for Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is out now, released to coincide with the start of production.

Director Jeff Fowler, who has led all the Sonic movies so far, tweeted the image, below, adding that Sonic 4 was now filming ahead of its March 2027 release date.

Ready 4 Action 🎬#SonicMovie4 now filming.
In Theaters Worldwide March 2027 pic.twitter.com/6HK5Q804rj

— Jeff Fowler (@fowltown) March 2, 2026

In the image, Fowler is holding Amy’s hammer. Is it a real prop as opposed to CGI only? Does this mean a human character will end up using it at some point? Will Sonic 4 answer the age-old question of where Amy actually keeps her hammer? We have a lot of questions.

Last month, it was confirmed that Kristen Bell voices Amy Rose, Sonic's pink hedgehog pal (and possible love interest). We've known that Amy was coming to Sonic's world since the end of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, when a mid-credits scene revealed both Metal Sonic and Sonic's ally, Amy Rose, arriving to save him with a massive hammer in tow.

Ben Schwartz has voiced the Blue Blur since the first movie, with Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, and Colleen O'Shaughnessey reprising her video game role as Tails. Idris Elba joined the group in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 as Knuckles, and Keanu Reeves stepped in as Shadow the Hedgehog in the third movie. It remains unclear who will voice Metal Sonic (if anyone, as Metal Sonic notoriously doesn't really speak in most appearances). And we also don't know if other fan-favorite Sonic characters (Blaze? Silver? Cream and Cheese? Big the Cat?) will show up.

As for Bell, she's perhaps best known as the voice of Anna in the Frozen films, but has also starred in TV series such as The Good Place, Gossip Girl, Veronica Mars, and Nobody Wants This, as well as films including Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Couples Retreat. She's appeared in a few video games too, including as the voice and likeness of Lucy in Assassin's Creed 1, 2, and Brotherhood, and, of course, as Anna in the Disney Infinity games and Kingdom Hearts 3.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is currently expected to zip into theaters on March 19, 2027. There's a spin-off movie coming as well in 2028, and fans are speculating that it will star Shadow the Hedgehog.

The cryptic Final Puzzle challenge in Resident Evil Requiem seems to have been fully solved, with video evidence of the method now circulating online.

Earlier today, Pokémon YouTuber Gengar Collects provided proof they were the first in the world to complete the Final Puzzle — but there was still confusion over how he'd done it, despite his attempts to try and help other fans.

Now, a repeatable method for finishing the puzzle has been published online — albeit only after datamining work was carried out to reveal the necessary requirements. The solution is bizarre, and there's still discussion among fans now over why exactly it works this way. But first... here's what you have to do.

RE9s Final Puzzle SOLVED!!!👀(Huge Game Wide Easter Egg Puzzle)

Warning! Spoilers for Resident Evil Requiem follow:

In a video published to YouTube, Resident Evil fan Kyro says they and fellow player Rantsycancy "spent two days tirelessly working through" Requiem's Final Puzzle challenge based on a "datamining background."

Step one requires you to wait 15 minutes at the game's meat processing plant, where a conveyor belt of bodies are dumped into... well, a meat processor. In the following meat grinder sequence, you then must ensure all zombies die to the grinder, rather than shooting them yourself. All of this is to ensure that enough zombies have been harvested here, something the game quietly counts in the background.

Next, head to the toilets in the restroom area and flush one eight times. This is all you reportedly need to do to spawn Marie's Doll during the facility escape sequence — the same doll that Gengar Collects accurately reported finding and using to complete the puzzle himself (though he wasn't sure what he'd done to make it spawn).

From here, the solution resolves as Gengar Collects previously stated. You'll need to complete the game, start a new save, then have Marie's Doll in your inventory when inputting the now infamous code sequence into the DNA sequencer machine that players previously worked out last week. And with all of that done, The Final Puzzle is finally complete.

Fans are still working to deduce why this process is the solution to the puzzle. There's speculation about a note referencing Marie that mentions extracting "a 2.3 millilitre sample from the 524.3 litres of blood collected from 115 infected," which may be the count of bodies (or bodies not wrapped up) on the conveyor belt. Why you then need to flush a toilet eight times, though, remains to be seen.

For now, however, Resident Evil Requiem's biggest mystery does at least have a full working solution. Are you planning to give it a go yourself?

IGN's Resident Evil: Requiem guide will help you every step of the way through RE9. Take note of these key tips and tricks before you get started, and focus on finding these important items early. Plus, our comprehensive walkthrough will make sure you don't miss a single Bobblehead or file as you try to survive from the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center all the way to Raccoon City.

Speed Racer is the next film in line to get the 4K steelbook treatment, and preorders are live now. For those hoping to add this one to their physical media collection, the Speed Racer 4K limited edition steelbook is now available to preorder from both Amazon and Walmart for $39.49.

At the time of this writing, it doesn't have a set release date, but don't let that stop you from preordering now. Limited edition steelbooks like this one can sell out much faster than you'd expect, so it's always worth putting an order in ahead of time. That way, you can be surprised for a fun movie night once it's released.

Preorder Speed Racer Limited Edition 4K Steelbook

• See at Amazon
• See at Walmart
• See at Target (sold out)

While the outside of the Speed Racer steelbook features a sleek, simple black design with the title in red on the front, you'll find colorful, fun details on the inside, which you can see below. At the moment, we're still waiting to find out what bonus features are included with this release as well, which we'll be sure to add in later.

Speed Racer is among our favorite racing movies of all time, with writer Matt Fowler saying, "The Wachowskis' gonzo, hyper-color big screen adaptation of 1960s anime Speed Racer lights up like lightning, delivering a boisterous special-effects extravaganza." Not to mention, it even earned a 9 in its review from us back when it was released.

If you're a big fan of physical media and on the hunt for even more movies to fill your library with alongside Speed Racer, it's always worth having a look through our rundown of upcoming 4Ks and Blu-rays to see what else is worth grabbing. It's not just movies we've listed, either. There's also some great TV shows releasing in physical formats to check out over the next few months.

Thanks to his work on best-selling titles like Injustice: Gods Among Us and Nightwing, Bruno Redondo is widely regarded as one of the best artists working at DC Comics today. That makes Redondo a natural choice of subject for Clover Press' latest DC art book, and IGN can exclusively show off some of the work featured within.

Check out the slideshow gallery below for a look at the DC Universe portfolio included with The DC Art of Bruno Redondo:

The DC Art of Bruno Redondo is a 200-page, 9" x 12" hardcover book. Along with Injustice and Nightwing, the book reprints Redondo's work on titles like Justice League, Batman: Black & White, Titans, Suicide Squad, and Harley Quinn: Black, White & Red.

“I have always been an avid fan of art books from the artists I admire,” said Redondo in a statement. “I consider them a great chance to learn and look behind the curtain of their creative process. So having the opportunity to share my own art book is quite a responsibility. I’m trying to be as open as possible to it and build a new bridge of communication through this, as a complement to my comic books. I hope you enjoy it, as well as some of the surprises we are working on!”

The crowdfunding campaign for The DC Art of Bruno Redondo is live now. The campaign includes optional extras like sketches and commissions, a fold-out edition of Nightwing #87, stickers, and a poster pack.

Dungeon Crawler Carl has been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years. The best-selling LitRPG book series is getting its eighth entry this May and there was even a new line of toys announced last month. Most notably, however, it was announced that the books would be getting a TV series adaptation all the way back in August 2024.

Since that original announcement, news about the upcoming adaptation has been pretty sparse. But thanks to a new Matt Dinniman interview with Variety, we finally have some more details. According to Dinniman, Chris Yost has already written a few episodes of the series and it has already been picked up by a specific streaming service. No formal announcements about which streaming service that is have been made just yet.

"So the project, as of this moment, is still very much alive. We’re still very much moving forward. Things are happening literally daily," Dinniman told Variety. "But I’ve also had friends who’ve gone through this process and everything hits a brick wall And I’ve seen it happen so many times, I’m just kind of in a, ‘Well, I’ll believe it when I see it’ state. But this is where we’re headed right now, and I’m cautiously optimistic we’ll get there.”

So while nothing is truly confirmed, the adaptation at NBCUniversal and Seth MacFarlane's Fuzzy Door productions certainly seems to be making good progress. Dinniman also defended the choice to make it a live-action series, saying: "It’s all gonna hinge on what it looks like. But Fuzzy Door, specifically, if you watch Ted or The Orville, you’ll see that they know what they’re doing when it comes to this. So I would say, don’t knock it till you try it."

While we wait for more concrete details about the adaptation, there's plenty more for fans of the Dungeon Crawler Carl book series to look forward to in 2026. The eighth book in the book series, titled A Parade of Horribles, is set to be released on May 12. There's also a graphic novel adaptation of the first book arriving in May 2026 as well.

Paramount boss David Ellison has said that HBO will continue to "operate with independence" after the Warner Bros. sale is completed, despite plans for HBO Max and Paramount+ to be merged into a single subscription.

Ellison made the remark today during an investor call, per Variety, in which he discussed plans to "put the two services together" and combine the companies' pool of 200 million subscribers to "compete with the leaders in the space."

Those same leaders include Disney+ (which ended 2025 with around 131 million subscribers), plus Paramount's former Warner Bros. bidding rival Netflix (325 million subscribers worldwide).

"We think the combined offering, and given the amount of content and what we can do from the tech side, really will put us in a position to be able to compete with the most scaled players in DTC [direct-to-consumer]," Ellison said.

Will HBO Max and Paramount+ become one single app for viewers, with sections for each — similar to Disney+ hosting content from Hulu? Right now, it's not totally clear — though Ellison went on to reference "bringing the platforms together."

"Casey [Bloys, HBO] and his team do absolutely a remarkable job," Ellison concluded. "We do plan for that to be able to operate with independence, so that HBO can, candidly, do what it does incredibly well. Our viewpoint is HBO should stay HBO. They built a phenomenal brand. They are a leader in the space, and we just want them to continue doing more of it. But by bringing the platforms together, all of our content will be able to reach even a broader audience than we can do standalone."

HBO has a vast catalog of content, from Game of Thrones to Succession and The Last of Us to The Pitt, plus an array of older series such as The Wire, The Sopranos, Sex and the City and True Detective. Notably, the company also has plans for a Baldur's Gate TV show. Paramount+, meanwhile, is home to Star Trek and South Park.

Last week, Netflix dramatically walked away from the Warner Bros. bidding war, leaving Paramount as the victor — if its own deal passes the approval of regulators.

Resident Evil Requiem released last Friday, and while many players are slicing up zombies as Leon S. Kennedy and creeping around as Grace Ashcroft, players of the Japanese version have noticed something is amiss. Namely, Requiem’s censorship of gore in its home country is being criticized for being immersion breaking and uncreative compared to past games in the series.

Warning! Resident Evil Requiem spoilers follow:

With Resident Evil being one of Japan’s major survival horror series, Capcom has previously come up with creative ways to censor domestic releases to meet the strict requirements of Japan’s CERO game ratings board. As The Gamer pointed out, in Resident Evil 7’s Japanese release, Capcom replaced the decapitated head found in a fridge with a photo of the deceased character. Other times, gory scenes (particularly decapitations) were removed entirely in Japan, including some of Leon’s most brutal death scenes in Resident Evil 4.

In a pre-release interview with Japanese news site Game Watch, Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi commented on the CERO Z (18+)-rated trial version of the game, noting: “While it's not completely identical to the global version, I think that the content you will experience in (the Japanese release of) Requiem is quite comparable.”

However, many players of the Japanese version have since voiced their dissatisfaction with censorship in the final release.

As one player of the Japanese version pointed out in a (NSFW) Reddit post, Capcom started to show cutting off limbs in Resident Evil 4, implementing a workaround whereby gore and entrails would be blacked-out. With Resident Evil Requiem, Capcom has also opted for blacking out the gore, however, this has extended to covering whole missing areas of bodies in black to the point where it is really noticeable.

For example, in one puzzle in Requiem, you have to find an artificial heart and lungs to place inside a dead body in order to get the Level 2 ID wristband. In the Japanese version, the entire upper body and the heart and lungs themselves are completely black. As the Redditor noted, this “censorship is way more noticeable imo, to the point where it really kills immersion.”

Through its (near-)consistent excellence, innovation, and longevity, Resident Evil games have earned their crown as the king of survival horror. Capcom debuted its world of mutants and mercenaries in 1996 and has since grown Resident Evil into a multimedia franchise that spans over two dozen console games, six films, two recent Netflix series, novels, comics, and even stage plays.

It can be an exciting franchise to explore given the amount of content it houses, though for the same reason, it can be an equally daunting series to approach in 2026. This article focuses exclusively on video games and cuts out the convolution by presenting two ways to play only the most narratively significant and accessible Resident Evil games in order.

Jump to:

• How to play in chronological order
• How to play by release order

How Many Resident Evil Games Are There?

There are 11 core Resident Evil games: RE 0-7, Village, Requiem, and Code: Veronica. However, the total number of Resident Evil console games — including spinoffs and remakes — sits around 30. That number rises near 60 when accounting for mobile and pachinko games.

Which Resident Evil Game Should You Play First?

Our overall suggestion for where to begin is with Resident Evil 4 Remake. It's the most visually/technically impressive RE remake to date and, thanks to its masterful mix of action and horror, arguably the best overall Resident Evil game in the franchise's nearly 30-year history. It's a largely self-contained story that doesn't require you to play each game that came before it.

However, if you prefer first-person horror, we recommend starting with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. It's the beginning of the Ethan Winters storyline and an excellent game that uses the more immersive first-person camera to heighten the horror.

How to Play the Resident Evil Games in Chronological Order

For this list, we’re focusing on 12 Resident Evil games: all 11 core entries and the two Revelations spinoffs. While many others are considered canon, this is not an exhaustive chronology, but rather an approachable guide to entering and enjoying the world of Resident Evil video games.

Missing from this list are mobile and pachinko games, light gun and Wii shooters (Resident Evil Survivor, Survivor 2, Dead Aim, Umbrella Chronicles, Darkside Chronicles), and non-canonical/non-consequential/difficult to access spinoffs (Resident Evil Gaiden, Outbreak, Outbreak: File #2, Mercenaries 3D, Operation Raccoon City, Resistance, Umbrella Corps, Re:Verse)

With series newcomers in mind, the brief plot synopses below contain only mild spoilers such as broad plot points and character introductions.

1. Resident Evil 0

Resident Evil 0 is the fifth game released in the series but the first chronologically. It takes place just before the events of Resident Evil, with Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) medic Rebecca Chambers and former marine Billy Coen discovering a train full of zombies in the Arklay Mountains (home to the Spencer Mansion). Billy and Rebecca uncover valuable information related to series villains Albert Wesker and William Birkin. We also learn more about the origins of the sinister Umbrella Corporation and its deadly T-Virus. The game wraps with Rebecca headed toward the mansion, where she’d serve as a supporting character in RE 1.

2. Resident Evil

The first Resident Evil came to PlayStation in 1996, though for those coming to the franchise in 2022, you’ll want to play the 2002 remake (or its more recent HD remaster), as it improves gameplay and expands on the story.

RE 1 picks up right after RE 0. You play as one of two S.T.A.R.S. agents — Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine — who come to the Spencer Mansion while investigating a series of murders in the woodlands outside of Raccoon City. Chris/Jill encounters the murderous, mutated victims of the T-Virus and uncovers key information about Umbrella and its biological experimentation.

3. Resident Evil 2

Taking place two months after RE 0 and 1, Resident Evil 2 introduces two new protagonists — rookie cop Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield (Chris’s sister) — each with their own connected yet distinct campaign. RE 2 also introduces the recurring character Ada Wong and the iconic Tyrant enemy.

We learn more about William Birkin and his work on an even more threatening virus called the G-virus. Leon/Claire uncover more disturbing details about the clandestine work of Umbrella, as well as its ties to the Raccoon Police Department.

Resident Evil 2 is currently available to play for free with an Xbox Game Pass subscription.

4. Resident Evil 3

The chronology gets dicey with Resident Evil 3, but for the sake of simplicity, we recommend playing it after 2. The first part of RE 3 takes place before the events of RE 2; the second part takes place after. You could play halfway through 3, pause, play through 2, then return for the second half of 3. However, playing RE 3 after 2 won’t detract from the experience or your understanding of the story. We chose to place it fourth on this list seeing as its conclusion progresses the overall narrative beyond RE 2.

You begin RE 3 as Jill Valentine, still coping with her experience from RE 1, trying to escape from an overrun Raccoon City. For part of the game, while Jill is indisposed, control shifts to her mercenary ally Carlos Oliviera. RE 3 also introduces Nemesis and reveals the fate of Raccoon City.

5. Resident Evil: Code – Veronica

Resident Evil: Code – Veronica advances the timeline by a couple of months and sees Claire Redfield continue the search for her brother Chris that began in RE 2. This time Claire’s search takes her to an Umbrella facility in France, where she escapes captivity and follows the trail to the southmost region of Earth.

Chris Redfield, one of the protagonists from the original game, returns as a second playable character in Code Veronica. Chris, like Claire, is looking for his sibling, and the search results in a meeting with series antagonist Albert Wesker.

6. Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil 4, arguably the series' most beloved entry, puts players back in the shoes of Leon Kennedy six years after his time in Racoon City during RE 2. Leon travels to a rural village in Spain on a mission to rescue the U.S. president’s daughter.

There, Leon encounters a cult and explores its ties to a mind-controlling parasite. The story that unfolds weaves together the narratives of two characters from Resident Evil's past: Albery Wesker and Ada Wong.

Read our Resident Evil 4 Remake review to see the improvements that were made since the original.

7. Resident Evil Revelations

Resident Evil Revelations is set between the events of RE 4 and 5. It explores another consequence of Umbrella’s bioweapon development and introduces players to the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA).

Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield are now BSAA agents, with Jill serving as the game’s primary protagonist. The duo head to the Mediterranean to combat the use of T-Abyss, a new variant of the T-Virus.

8. Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 5 is set five years after RE 4. Chris Redfield, as part of the BSAA, flies to Africa with his partner Sheva Alomar to prevent the black market sale of a bioweapon. The people of Kijuju, however, have already been infected with an enhanced version of the mind-controlling parasite seen in RE 4.

It’s a larger-scale story than past Resident Evils, though Chris also embarks on the more personal mission of finding his long-lost partner, Jill Valentine. We also learn of Albert Wesker’s latest nefarious plot.

Unlike past games in the series, RE 5 can be played cooperatively; the second player controls Sheva.

9. Resident Evil Revelations 2

Resident Evil Revelations 2 is set between RE 5 and 6. It brings Claire Redfield back into the spotlight for the first time since Code Veronica. The game is split into four episodes, with each episode divided into two parts: a past sequence with Clarie and Moira Burton and a present sequence with Barry Burton (Moira's father) attempting to locate them. The story introduces another antagonistic Wesker.

10. Resident Evil 6

Resident Evil 6 is an action-heavy adventure that tells an even more sprawling (and convoluted) tale than that of RE 5. It weaves together four campaigns starring Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, Ada Wong, and a mercenary named Jake Muller.

The BSAA introduced in Revelations plays an important role in 6, as the quartet of protagonists work to squash the bioterrorist group Neo-Umbrella and prevent the spread of yet another mutant-creating virus (the C-Virus).

11. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

With Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Capcom reinvented the franchise in several ways: It’s RE’s return to mass acclaim and fandom following the largely disappointing fifth and sixth entries, it introduces a new protagonist in Ethan Winters, and most notably it switches the series’ longrunning perspective from third-person to first-person.

Despite all these changes, RE 7 still exists on the series canonical timeline, presumably taking place in the modern-day sometime after RE 6. The game is set in rural Louisiana, with the first part taking place in the home of the wonderfully insane Baker family. Its ties to past RE games are rather loose, though many of the series staples are here: clandestine human experimentation, bioweapons, and toward the end, a familiar face.

12. Resident Evil Village

Resident Evil Village is a continuation (and the conclusion) of Ethan Winters’s story, set three years after the events of RE 7. Biohazard and Village stand on their own as a duology of games. Though Village includes a few more ties to the series’ past, including a more prominent role for the aforementioned “familiar face” and further information about the origins of Umbrella.

A post-credits scene extends the timeline even further. We’ll save the details, but those curious can read on to the next section for a bit more context.

13. Resident Evil Requiem

Resident Evil Requiem is one of those special games that's set in the same year it released: 2026. The latest RE release takes place a little under 30 years after the Raccoon City incident at the end of Resident Evil 3, but before Rose has grown up into the adult we see her as in the Village DLC. Requiem connects some of the dots from Resident Evil's timelines through two playstyles and protagonists: the notorious Leon Kennedy and FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft.

Bonus: Shadows of Rose DLC

Picking up shortly after Village’s post-credits scene (16 years after the main story of Village), Shadows of Rose progresses the Resident Evil timeline further than any game before it. Assuming the events of Village take place in 2021, Shadows of Rose brings the franchise into the near future of 2037.

The 3-4 hour DLC stars Ethan’s daughter Rose, who attempts to rid herself of the unwanted powers inherited from her father.

The Future of Resident Evil Games

We just got our hands on Resident Evil Requiem, which is shaping up to be an incredibly successful release. In terms of what's next, in late 2023, Capcom confirmed they're working on more RE remakes, and some reports suggest Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica are up next.

Millennials and Gen-Xers, it’s your time… because the Scary Movie franchise is officially back in action. The upcoming film, Scary Movie 6, premiered its very first trailer ahead of Scream 7 during its opening weekend, and needless to say, the sneak peek is a real doozy.

For those of you returning to the Scary Movie franchise (again, your Millennials and Gen-Xers) that wacky, madcap humor you know and love is all over this thing. The trailer — which kicks off with an unsurprising pronouns joke within a Scream 6 parody that leads to Marlon Wayans’ character Shorty standing with a chill-as-hell Ghostface and friends while telling the camera “We baaaaaack” — is full of the tone you’d expect with all of the fun and practical physical comedy you crave in this franchise.

For those of you who are new here (Gen Z and Gen Alpha, of course), the humor might take some getting used to but there’s a wealth of great horror properties to anticipate jokes about. The trailer shows off nods to films like The Substance, Megan, Weapons, Sinners, Get Out, and even Terrifier, among many more. It appears that this new installment is going full modern… minus their original sense of humor, clearly.

However, the filmmakers want fans to know that the movie isn’t just trying to bumrush modern franchises with distasteful jokes. "Our brand of humor is never that,” Marlon Wayans, one of the stars and cowriters of the film, recently explained to GamesRadar. “If you look at Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2, it wasn't, 'Hey, let's just throw everything in there'. We threw in everything that was organic to the characters."

Speaking of characters, let’s not forget the best part of that teaser. The sneak peek also shows us something that isn’t specifically horror-related that will definitely get fans going: the reunion of the franchise’s iconic female characters Brenda and Cindy. So there’s a lot to get excited about here, and at minimum the older gens will be on board for it all.

Scary Movie 6 will star Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, Jon Abrahams, Lochlyn Munro, Dave Sheridan, and Cheri Oteri, all of whom will be returning from the original film. Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory Wayans wrote the film, which was directed by Michael Tiddes. Tiddes worked with the Wayans brothers on their A Haunted House horror comedy films.

The film’s tagline should excite fans as well: “Every line will be crossed.” If that’s truly the case — and it seems like it might be with some truly gory horror properties on parody this time around — then we’re probably gonna have some serious fun with this one.

Scary Movie 6 is set to arrive in theaters on June 12, 2026.

The extraction shooter genre has officially exploded. For years it was synonymous with a couple of games, most notably Escape from Tarkov, but it's now more varied and beginner-friendly than ever. Arc Raiders has sucked in first-timers, and I'm tentatively excited by what I've played of Bungie's Marathon ahead of its full launch this week.

But if you've never played an extraction shooter before, the genre can seem intimidating and opaque. What does that confusing name mean? What exactly is an extraction shooter? And what are the best ones to play right now? That's what we're here to explore.

What is an Extraction Shooter?

Nintendo has announced a new Indie World Showcase, set to take place tomorrow, March 3.

The showcase kicks off at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm UK time, and will provide 15 minutes of news and updates on indie games coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.

This is not a Nintendo Direct, so don’t expect any news on upcoming Nintendo games (hopefully that 3D Mario announcement isn’t too far away though!).

So, what can fans expect? At the August 2025 Nintendo Indie World Showcase (which did not offer a Hollow Knight: Silksong release date!), we got a demo announcement for Yacht Club Games’ Mina the Hollower, new looks at Well Dweller, Content Warning on consoles, Glaciered, Herdling, Ball x Pit, and Neverway.

Nintendo held a Partner Showcase last month. Highlights included a Switch 2 upgrade for the original Hollow Knight, a release date for the Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and more Resident Evil Requiem (out now). Plus, Bethesda announced ports for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Fallout 4, and The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. Fans didn’t see everything they were hoping for (we’re looking at you, The Duskbloods), but the show did still manage to pack in tons of announcements.

Reliable video game leaker billbil-kun has revealed the release date and price for Starfield on PlayStation 5 ahead of an official announcement from Bethesda and Microsoft.

In a post on Deadlabs, billbil-kun said Starfield will release on PS5 on April 7, and it will indeed have a physical edition.

Assuming this release date is true (billbil-kun regularly and accurately leaks PlayStation Plus games, so we have no reason to doubt it), Bethesda’s sci-fi game launches on PlayStation two-and-a-half years after it debuted on PC and Xbox Series X and S, back in September 2023.

Billbil-kun also revealed Starfield will launch on PS5 in Standard and Premium editions, as you’d expect, but there’s no early access for the Premium edition.

As for a price, billbil-kun said it will cost €49.99 / £44.99 for the standard edition, and €69.99 / £59.99 for the Premium Edition, with pre-orders expected on March 18. There’s no word yet on when the announcement will be made.

That price is interesting though as it’s cheaper than Starfield’s PC and Xbox Series X and S launch price from 2023. The Standard Edition of Starfield currently costs £59.99 on Steam, and the Premium Edition costs £85.99, so perhaps a price-cut to align all versions is coming soon.

Last month, Bethesda boss Todd Howard confirmed that Starfield is not getting a huge 2.0-type update. “Obviously, we’ve been working on a lot of Starfield content. I can tell everybody we are going to be talking about [the new content] really soon,” Howard told Kinda Funny. “We’re moving into a phase where we’re ready to talk about Starfield. And really show that in the right way, and what’s coming to the game. We’ve been doing a lot of work that we like a lot.”

Howard added: "You know, I’ve seen some of that, so for expectation-setting, I think it’s the kind of thing where if you love Starfield, we think you’re going to love this. It’s updates and things that change the game, not in an isolated way, but sort of meta. Using outer space and things in ways that we haven’t."

Interestingly, Howard made a point of saying that ​​"if Starfield is something that didn’t connect with you right away, or you bounced off it, or found it boring in places, I don’t think this is going to change that fundamentally."

Though Howard was coy about timelines, he did say we may find out more "soonish."

Starfield launched in September 2023 as Bethesda’s first brand new IP in 25 years, but it was not as well received as the studio’s previous games in the Fallout and The Elder Scrolls franchises, and the Shattered Space expansion, released a year later in September 2024, has a ‘mostly negative’ user review rating on Steam.

Starfield went on to reach 15 million players, but the question of whether Bethesda might walk away from the game to focus on its other franchises has been a running theme since release. In June 2024, Bethesda insisted it remained committed to supporting Starfield, and confirmed at least one other story expansion would come out following Shattered Space. And in an interview with YouTube channel MrMattyPlays, Bethesda Game Studios’ Todd Howard said the developer was aiming to release an annual story expansion for “hopefully a very long time.” That, obviously, hasn't happened. In August last year, it was reported that Starfield's second expansion and much-anticipated PlayStation 5 port would now arrive in 2026, following the poor reception to Shattered Space.

Bethesda has confirmed plans to improve Starfield space gameplay “to make the travels there more rewarding” after datamined fragments of code suggested the developer had a more streamlined space travel experience in the works. Based on this datamine, while you may be able to travel between planets within the same system, you won’t be able to fly all the way between systems, nor fly directly from a planet's surface into orbit, like No Man's Sky.

In a new video discussing his career, veteran Bethesda developer Tim Lamb confirmed that the studio had been working on Starfield’s space gameplay, and that a new DLC story was still coming at some point.

“I think as it comes to Starfield, I'm really excited for players to see what the teams have been working on,” he said. “We have some cool stuff coming, including free updates and features the players have been asking for, as well as a new DLC story.

“I can't go into all the details just yet, but I will say part of the team has been focused on space gameplay to make the travels there more rewarding. We're also adding some new game systems, and a few other smaller delights. There's also some really interesting stuff coming down the pipe from our verified creators. There's some fun stuff.

“I just want to say thanks. We really appreciate the support and the enthusiasm. We can't wait to get it into the hands of our players.”

Last month, Bethesda teased new content for Starfield — at least that’s what fans thought after they spotted a hidden message in a social media video released to celebrate the game’s two-year anniversary.

Magic: The Gathering is going crossover mad for its 2026 main sets, and while Marvel Super Heroes, The Hobbit, and Star Trek are yet to come, we’re now just days away from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, and the pre-release window is well underway as well.

While we didn’t get any Universes Beyond decks for Magic’s most popular format in the Spider-Man and Avatar sets, we’re being treated to Turtle Power for the TMNT set. Release day is March 6, but Amazon has knocked over $15 off the price already if you preorder today.

PlayStation gamers are fooling their friends by adding GTA 6 to their Recently Played list, even though Rockstar's hotly-anticipated open world crime game isn't out until November.

Over the weekend, PlayStation Game Size, which provides details of games added to, or amended on, the PlayStation database, revealed GTA 6's title IDs (PPSA01547_00 and PPSA29660_00) had been added, teasing: "I expect we’ll see something about the game soon, probably the start of pre-orders."

No one's entirely sure why there are two IDs, although PlayStation Game Size assured players it's "normal," and may be due to "different regions," as "all editions will use the same title ID."

Now the PSN ID for GTA 6 is out there, players have been having a little fun and exploiting a glitch on PlayStation that adds 'Grand Theft Auto VI' to their PSN profile's Recently Played list, as demonstrated below by X / Twitter account @videotechuk_:

Of course, this doesn't mean anyone with GTA 6 on their Recently Played list has played it — it's just a glitch. That hasn't stopped fans trying to copy it, though (and loads more trying to figure out how it's done).

"Cool glitch," wrote redditor Brief-Yogurtcloset42 in a thread on the GTA 6 subreddit, alongside an image showing GTA 6 under "recently played." "Gonna see this reposted for the next week and a half now," said one fan. "So people are genuinely going to all that effort, just to make it look like they’ve played a game they haven’t actually played?" added another. "Dang we really got GTA 6 glitches before GTA 6," joked another fan.

Interestingly, this has been possible on the Xbox store for some time — I was able to do it earlier today simply by 'installing' the game to my Xbox Series X from the mobile app, and then attempting to run it from the dashboard (which doesn't work, of course!). And now my friends are fooled into thinking the last game I played was GTA 6.

Resident Evil Requiem looks like a smash hit for Capcom, with record-breaking Steam concurrent player numbers suggesting big sales. But it’s also a hit on Metacritic, where it has the joint highest user score of all time.

Requiem has a user score of 9.5 on Metacritic, which is the same score last year’s breakout hit, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, has. It surged past Metal Gear Solid, The Witcher 3, and Disney Cory in the House’s 9.3 (if you did a double-take at Disney Cory in the House being up there, well… there’s a whole thing about it being on this list that is well worth checking out). Also on 9.3, perhaps more deservedly, are the original Silent Hill 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3.

Website user review scores can be manipulated, of course (Disney Cory in the House shows that!), and not just with games either (Breaking Bad vs. Game of Thrones is a thing). But clearly fans are loving Resident Evil Requiem, which also has an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ user review rating on Steam. IGN’s own Resident Evil Requiem review returned a 9/10. We said: “Like the result of an experiment conducted in an underground Umbrella Corporation lab, Resident Evil Requiem successfully splices two separate strains of survival horror together into the one highly infectious new mutation.”

Resident Evil Requiem’s overall Metascore is 88, which isn’t enough to make Metacritic’s top 250 games of all time. The highest-rated Resident Evil video game is the original Resident Evil 4, which has a 96 Metascore. Still, Resident Evil Requiem is the second highest-rated video game of 2026, behind only Pokemon Pokopia for now.

We’ve got plenty more on Resident Evil Requiem, including the hunt for the solution to its cryptic Final Puzzle solution, which has been confusing fans for the past week. Today, one person does now appear to have solved the Final Puzzle — but the mystery around the challenge remains, as it's unclear exactly how they did it.
