Capcom has secured a new PEGI age rating for the original 1996 Resident Evil game, leaving many fans to wonder why.
There are two types of Resident Evil fans, those that love the classic fixed-camera angles and tank controls, and those that don’t. It is also a good way to give away someone’s age as to whether they started playing the games pre or post-Resident Evil 4. As the original trilogy edges ever closer to its 30-year anniversary in 2026, fans of the classic games have long wanted to see them ported to modern systems, giving players a way to experience their first taste of survival horror again.
Its sequels, Resident Evil 2 and 3 have both seen ports to the Gamecube in the 2000s and received PEGI ratings at the time, which also carried over to the PSN releases in 2010 along with a new classification for Resident Evil Director’s Cut at the same time, a rating which still carries over to the PS4 and PS5 version of the game that is available as part of PS Plus.
