Capcom announces 'Resident Evil Origins Collection'

Horror-game series “Resident Evil,” is getting a lot of remasters lately with the first “Resident Evil HD Remaster” released earlier this year and two more to come later on. One of which is an HD edition of “Resident Evil 0” and new reports show that these two games will come in one awesome bundle.

A reveal trailer shows off an upcoming disc bundle of two remastered classic games from the “Resident Evil” franchise. The bundle dubbed as “Resident Evil Origins Collection” will ship in 2016 for the Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC. The bundle will contain the already released remaster of the first title in the series, “Resident Evil Remaster” as well as the upcoming HD version of “Resident Evil 0.” The latter is a story that is set before the events of the first game. The HD remaster of “Resident Evil 0” will also be available for single purchase early 2016.

Gamespot reports that the bundle will cost players $20. The North American release for the bundle is not yet specified but fans from Europe can get their hands on the game when it hits shelves on Jan. 22. Capcom stated that the bundle will be released to previous generation consoles; Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. However, the company is yet to state whether or not these versions will be released.

Capcom has also released more details on the upcoming “Resident Evil 0” HD remaster. Aside from the better graphics and physics in the game, Capcom also added a new mode to the game that will let players take on the role of one of “Resident Evil’s” more well-known character, Albert Wesker. Capcom says that the new Wesker Mode will allow the players to experience the events that will set in motion the main series from the eyes of the series’ main antagonist.

More remasters may come for the series as Capcom has revealed plans for remaking “Resident Evil 2.” Confirmation of the remaster comes after Capcom asked the fans whether or not they would like to see an HD remaster of the second game in the series. The question was brought up when a fan made remake was seen online.
