Gameplay is powered by the same system as Resident Evil 2: The Board Game, with a tension deck throwing up random events and increasing the number of enemies that spawn the longer players’ characters stick around in the streets of Raccoon City.

Steamforged claims the campaign can take players over 19 hours to see in full. Scenarios can be tackled as standalone missions or strung into a connected campaign, with players’ decisions having an impact on future sessions.

As they explore the map and collect items, players will encounter various zombie enemies - such as undead dogs and the insectoid Drain Deimos - as well as having to deal with the pursuing Nemesis on their tail. Up to four players control characters including series mainstay Jill Valentine and merc Carlos Oliveira in a number of dungeon-crawler-style scenarios based on moments from the video game. The Resident Evil 3 board game draws inspiration from the original 1999 PlayStation game, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, rather than last year’s remake for modern platforms. The second board game based on the long-running Capcom horror series to emerge from Steamforged - after its tabletop adaptation of Resident Evil 2 - Resident Evil 3: The Board Game was Kickstarted in spring 2020 to the tune of £865,698 ($1.2m). This may be possible if Capcom keeps giving us games that we know and love.The board game adaptation of horror video game Resident Evil 3 will arrive in shops in time for Halloween, publisher Steamforged Games has announced. CEO Kenkichi Nomura stated in a letter that he would like Capcom to reach 100 million units of games sold in total per year. Capcom seems to have done very well for itself in the past few years in the horror game arena, and with it, comes a goal. This might be partially why we will see Remakes of the Resident Evil games in the future, most especially Resident Evil 4. This seems to hold true for most of its Resident Evil games as of late, including Resident Evil: Village, and the Monster Hunter series as well. Either way, Capcom is pleased with Resident Evil 3’s success, enough to call it a hit and attribute it to its digital sales strategy. There could even be a spike of people buying a copy for the upcoming spooky weekend, or if it goes on sale. And, too, some sources state that the game has sold as much as 4.5 million, as the number of 3.9 million dates back from March 31st of this year.

And for the Remake, it’s only been out for a little longer than a year, having been released on April 3, 2020. It does not seem like much until it’s taken into consideration that for the original, these were the overall sales. What comes as a pleasant surprise is that these numbers, while not in the top ten for most units sold this year for Capcom, do mean that the Resident Evil 3 remake has sold more than the original, which at 1999 sold 3.5 million copies.
