What this game is

Resident Evil 7 is a reboot of Capcom's Resident Evil series. After the poorly received RE6 and its action focus, the studio returned to its roots: tight corridors, limited resources, fear of every corner. The main difference from earlier entries is the first-person view, a first for the numbered series in its entire history. The story takes place in swampy Louisiana: Ethan Winters receives a video from his wife Mia, who went missing three years ago, and heads to the abandoned Baker family farm.

The Bakers are infected with the Mold, a new bio-organic pathogen, different from the T-Virus of the series' earlier games. Jack, Marguerite, Lucas and Zoe embody different horror archetypes: a stalker monster, body horror, and a psychological trap in the spirit of Saw. The main campaign takes 12-15 hours, plus 4-6 hours of additional content. The package includes the free DLC Not a Hero (about 2 hours as Chris Redfield, with events right after the end of the campaign).

RE7 was the first title on the new RE Engine, which Capcom had been developing since 2014 for this release. Since then, RE2 Remake (2019), DMC5 (2019), RE3 Remake (2020), RE Village (2021), RE4 Remake (2023), Monster Hunter Wilds (2025) and RE Requiem (2026) have been released on RE Engine. Technically, the game is well optimized for the average PCs of its era and works fully offline: a Capcom account is not required.

The scores confirm the quality of the reboot: Metacritic 86, Steam 95% "Very Positive" from about 113,880 reviews, 16.4 million copies sold, third place in the franchise's history. The game has sold more than a million copies a year for eight years in a row. RE Village (RE8, 2021) is the direct story sequel: Ethan returns three years after the events at the Baker farm.

Localization: official Russian subtitles and interface, with the original English voice acting. The key region and activation method are listed on the product page.
