‘Resident Evil’-Inspired Retro Horror Title ‘Ground Zero’ Gets New Gamplay Trailer [Watch]

Published

The Future Games Show Summer Showcase received its dose of retro Survival Horror content thanks to publisher Kwalee and indie developer Malformation Games, who have released an intense new gameplay trailer for their upcoming title, Ground Zero. The trailer offers a glimpse into the game’s haunting setting, the city of Busan, now plunged into chaos following a catastrophic meteor strike.

Coming to PC via Steam, Ground Zero takes place after the aforementioned devastating meteor impact on South Korea. 2 months later, as the dust and lightning storms settle and the air becomes breathable, an elite Korean operative and her Canadian partner are sent to investigate. What waits for them in the foggy remains is a city in ruins, and every living thing transformed into a terrifying monstrous threat.

Sporting a familiar cinematic fixed camera, Ground Zero will have players defending themselves with an array of abilities. The trailer also highlights some of the weapons and survival tools available in the player’s arsenal, providing a first look at how players will defend themselves and adapt to the unforgiving post-apocalyptic landscape. You’ll need to dodge, shoot, stab, kick and counter in order to survive. Cleaner kills means more Genome Points, which can be traded for powerful gear upgrades.

And just in case the references to Resident Evil weren’t enough, there are plenty of unlockables and extra content for you to enjoy. That includes alternate outfits, additional game modes and hidden endings if you’re curious enough to find them.

‘Resident Evil Requiem’ Surpasses 8 Million Units Sold; ‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake Now Highest-Selling in Franchise

Published

Capcom once again updated fans on their sales figures via their new quarterly report. And to no one’s surprise, Resident Evil Requiem continues to rake in the sales, having now crossed the 8 million units sold mark across the Nintendo Switch 2, PC via Steam and Epic Games StorePlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series. This all comes after the game reached 7 million units sold just three months ago.

In even bigger news, Resident Evil 5, which has sold just over 19 million across various incarnations, is no longer the best selling entry in the series. That title now belongs to 2019’s Resident Evil 2 remake, which has now moved 19.75 million copies across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

It gets only more crowded when you look at the numbers of other entries: Resident Evil 7: biohazard currently sits at 18.41 million, while Resident Evil 6 has hit 17.60 million units. 2023’s Resident Evil 4 remake isn’t far behind with 16.04 million, while Resident Evil Village is at 15.86 million units. And while it’s considered a “miss” compared to the other remakes, 2020’s Resident Evil 3 remake is still at a respectable 14.52 million units.

Devil May Cry V, which was already the highest-selling entry in the franchise, has apparently seen a boost in sales thanks to the second season of the Netflix series and last month’s launch on the Switch 2, having now hit 14. 24 million units.

Meanwhile, we can look forward to Zach Cregger‘s violent take on the franchise with his Resident Evil film, which is set for a September 16 release.
