Over the years, the Resident Evil timeline has only gotten murkier. The first instalment in 1996 spawned an entire subgenre, establishing the rules of survival horror in video games as we know them today. If you're thinking about testing the zombie-infested waters of this legendary series, you might find yourself balking in the face of over 20 mainline, spin-off, and remake titles to choose from.
Whether you're keen to see where Resident Evil Requiem sits chronologically or just want to replay your favs in order, this list compiles all main Resident Evil titles according to when they happen in the game's world (instead of release date order). We’ll also be replacing some original mainline entries with their remakes, since they’re easier to track down and play today. It goes without saying that basic spoilers might lie ahead, but we've done our best to tone those down and not ruin the games for you.
