Capcom announced that a new dedicated Portal site for the acclaimed Resident Evil franchise will be available sometime early next year.
From clunky, early PS1-era 3D polygonal characters to Milla Jovovich kicking zombie butt on the silver screen, there is an entire treasure trove of Resident Evil content. Games, movies, novels and even theme parks come under the Resident Evil umbrella. This Portal aims to consolidate all the different Resident Evil websites into a one-stop site for fans of the series.
The website states the following:
Resident Evil Portal will be the go-to source for the latest info on the Resident Evil series;
it’s a place for players to share their stats with others around the world, an overflowing item box of content for series veterans and rookies.The new Resident Evil Portal site will be the place to be for those thirsty for more Resident Evil fun!
Make sure you’re locked and loaded, and stocked up on green herbs,
because a new Resident Evil experience awaits on the Resident Evil Portal site!
We are keen to discover just how the Portal service will be integrated into players’ gaming experience. Even if you’re not planning to connect with your fellow Resident Evil fans, this is definitely the place to stay up to date with the latest news from the series.
We are also pleased to see that the Ambassador program will be carried over to the new site. Ambassadors are able to enjoy cool rewards such as getting the chance to play test new games. According to the Portal, several changes have been made to the point and rank system, so be sure to check it out.
Capcom has done a remarkable job in revitalising the franchise’s popularity in recent years. The remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 have proven to be astounding success stories. As the undisputed poster boy of the zombie genre this year, we eagerly await for more news on the new site for a Resident Evil 4 Remake and Resident Evil: Village which will release next year.
