Resident Evil 3 is a 2020 survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It is a remake of the 1999 Resident Evil game Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, and follows former elite agent Jill Valentine and mercenary Carlos Oliveira as they attempt to find a vaccine and escape from a city that has been infected by a viral bioweapon. The game is played from an over-the-shoulder, third-person perspective and requires the player to solve puzzles and defeat opponents while being pursued by a creature called Nemesis.
Most of Resident Evil 3 was developed concurrently with the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2 and both games run on Capcom's proprietary RE Engine. Although the game features the same premise as the original, many parts were rearranged in favor of a more focused story. To honor the more action-oriented approach of the original, developers revamped the movement speed and animations from the Resident Evil 2 remake and added an ability for players to dodge incoming attacks. Because some features from the original game were excluded, a separate online multiplayer game, Resident Evil: Resistance, was bundled with Resident Evil 3.
