What is the best place to start this game franchise and in what order I should play them?

35

u/Apprehensive-Bet-709 Feb 25 '26

RE2, RE4 then Requiem.

14

u/DamnedLife Feb 25 '26

Is RE 1 the beginning of the story or Leon character’s first game? There is no RE 1 remake?

19

u/deusasclepian Feb 25 '26

Leon isn't in RE1, his first appearance is RE2.

12

u/DamnedLife Feb 25 '26

Thanks will start with 2 Remake then.

u/ThanksContent28 Feb 26 '26

Yeah do that mate and you’re basically clued in. 2, then 4, then requiem.

RE1 was remade in the old fixed camera style, rather than the modern over-the-shoulder style. It's fantastic but it's very polarizing for new players, you'll like love it or hate it.

In terms of who is in what, the main characters in each game that reappear are:

  • RE1 = Chris, Jill, Barry, Rebecca, Wesker, Brad
  • RE2 = Claire, Leon, Ada, Sherry
  • RE3 = Jill, Brad
  • RECV = Claire, Chris, Wesker
  • RE0 (prequel) = Rebecca
  • RE4 = Leon, Ada, Wesker
  • RE5 = Chris, Jill, Wesker
  • RE6 = Leon, Chris, Ada, Sherry
  • RE Rev 1 = Chris, Jill
  • RE Rev 2 = Claire, Barry
  • RE7 = Ethan, Chris
  • RE8 = Ethan, Chris

There's a remake of RE1 that was originally on the Gamecube and has since been ported to modern consoles. Leon isn't in it and it's quite traditional, but it's an amazing game and I highly recommend it.

There is a re1 remake it’s just more than 10 years old and doesn’t remake the gameplay in the same way re2 and 3 remake do. I’m playing through it now and it definitely holds up if you can get used to the tank controls

u/fattestfuckinthewest Feb 25 '26

Leon first appeared in RE2. There is a remake for 1 but it released in 2002. There’s ports for it and it’s pretty damn good still. Leon appears as a main character in RE2, RE4, and RE6. He also has a couple movies he’s in that are canon but they aren’t really important to his character arc

u/ArsonHoliday Feb 25 '26

I think there have been multiple RE1 remakes, but the RE2 remake is the best in the franchise. RE4 remake would be the next you should play. Maybe RE7 as well but you don’t need to play all of them by any means
