Glenfarclas have announced a limited edition release in collaboration with Resident Evil, or Biohazard, as the game is known in its native country of Japan, in celebration of the game’s 25th birthday.
Released in 1996, Resident Evil is a survival horror game, consisting of third and first-person shooter games. The plot of the game centres around a pharmaceutical company, Umbrella Corporation, that is developing biological weapons, and a group of characters determined to fight back.
The game was released for PlayStation in 1996, and was widely successful. The game is credited with inspiring the term “survival horror”, due to the new category of gameplay that it presented to gamers across the world.
Fast-forward 25 years, and the game has multiple sequels, as well as inspiring a film series, novels, and a comic-book series.
