GOG.com has announced that the original version of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis will launch on the PC-based platform on September 25th.
The game launched on PS1 on September 22, 1999, and would be ported to PC the following year. It was remade for modern systems in 2020.
Just like Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2, the team at GOG has “made the best version possible.”
This version will include:
- Full compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11
- 6 localizations of the game included (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese)
- Mercenaries Mode included
- Improved DirectX game renderer
- New rendering options (Windowed Mode, Vertical Synchronization Control, Gamma Correction, Integer Scaling and more)
- Improved graphics engine initialization and restart
- Improved video subtitles
- Improved options dialog
- Issue-less task switching
- Improved mouse cursor visibility
- Full support for modern controllers (Sony DualSense, Sony DualShock4, Microsoft Xbox Series, Microsoft Xbox One, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, Logitech F series and many more) with optimal button binding regardless of the hardware and wireless mode
While this re-release is very welcome news, some fans have jokingly pleaded with GOG to delay its launch for three days so that it can match up with in-game events:
“Join Jill Valentine, the heroine and amazing survivor of the notorious disaster at the mansion, as her nightmare continues,” reads the official description of the game. “After resigning from S.T.A.R.S. Jill now prepares to head out of Raccoon City…but it’s not going to be easy. Caught in a town crawling with flesh eating zombies, more than ever she must rely on brute force and cunning to find a way to escape alive. This unique adventure intricately reveals more of Umbrella Corporation’s nightmarish plot and picks up just hours before the events from Resident Evil 2.”
