Resident Evil 3 Walkthrough wiki  

The IGN Walkthrough for Resident Evil 3's remake on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One is here to help you make the most of your gaming experience. With plenty of optional rooms, hidden items, new weapons, and collectibles, this game offers a lot of content to explore. We'll provide you with tips and tricks to help you find everything you need and make the most out of your playthrough. Capcom's Resident Evil 3, released in 2020, is a survival horror game and a remake of the 1999 title Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. The game follows the story of Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira as they try to escape a city overrun by a viral outbreak and find a vaccine. Players need to solve puzzles and defeat monsters while being hunted down by the relentless Nemesis, all from a third-person perspective. The game was initially released on PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in April 2020, with subsequent releases for Amazon Luna, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and a Nintendo Switch cloud version.

Resident Evil 3 was developed simultaneously with the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2 and utilizes Capcom's RE Engine. The game rearranged many elements from the original and introduced new features like dodge moves to cater to its action-oriented approach. As some original features were excluded, Capcom bundled the game with an online multiplayer title, Resident Evil: Resistance. Critics generally responded positively to Resident Evil 3's narrative, atmosphere, and graphics, but criticized its short length and missing features from the original game. Some also felt that the game relied too heavily on action and scripted sequences. Nonetheless, the game sold over 6.40 million copies by January 2023. Capcom has announced a remake of Resident Evil 4 scheduled for release in 2023.
