It was just announced, but the remake of Resident Evil 3 is already one of the most anticipated games of 2020. And for a limited time, PC players can grab a Steam copy of the game for $15 off the initial asking price, if they use a promo code on Green Man Gaming. This Resident Evil 3 pre-order also comes with a special bonus.

In January, Capcom released Resident Evil 2 to critical acclaim. Now, at the end of the year, it has outsold the original RE 2 and is a serious game of the year contender. At a PlayStation State of Play event earlier this month, Resident Evil 3 was announced as the next remake with a release date of April 3, 2020. The game is available for pre-order, but if players already know they want it and are looking to save some money now is the time to pre-order. At least on PC.

PC games marketplace Green Man Gaming is offering Resident Evil 3 for $44.99 if customers use the promo code 25RE3. The pre-order includes the Classic Costume Pack DLC, just like RE2 did before it. It is important to note that the PC version available on Green Man is only for the Steam launcher. The game also includes the Resistance multiplayer mode.

The original Resident Evil 3 has become a mostly forgotten entry in the franchise. It followed closely on the heels of the beloved Resident Evil 2 and didn’t change enough to the formula for it to make as big of an impact. In retrospect, systems introduced in RE3 made their way into future entries in the franchise. The original game added gunpowder and crafting, the iconic 180 degree spin, and the concept of an un-killable monster stalking the player.

Resident Evil 2 was the best Resident Evil game in a very long time, arguably even better than the stellar Resident Evil 7. Now, the expectations for RE 3 are set high, especially with such a quick turn around. Like the original two games, it seems like 3 will be visually similar to the 2. It will run on the same version of the RE Engine and likely use many existing assets. Based on how good RE2 was, that is not likely to be an issue for fans.

Resident Evil 3 will release April 3, 2020, on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
