This 2019 remake of the 1998 blockbuster sees Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield explore, fight, and solve their way through a police station overrun by zombies after the events of the original game. The fixed camera angle is done away with in favor of third-person gameplay and the visuals are reimagined with the latest tech, the RE Engine.
