For many players, “Biohazard” is no longer just a game series, but synonymous with the entire survival horror genre. From the birth of the original work in 1996 to the present, this IP has been accompanying players for a full 30 years. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the series, Capcom officially announced that it will hold “THE WORLD OF BIOHAZARD 30th Anniversary Exhibition” in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan this fall. This is also the first large-scale official theme exhibition held since the birth of the “Biohazard” series.
After the news was made public, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of old players. After all, for this series that has experienced mansions, Raccoon City, villages and countless B.O.W. monsters, the 30th anniversary itself is commemorative enough.
Not just for display, but also for players to enter the world of “Biohazard”?
According to the official introduction, this exhibition will be built around the world view of the “Biohazard” series. In addition to reviewing the development history of the series, some character setting information, behind-the-scenes development content, and production background that have not been shown in depth in the past will also be disclosed. The official emphasized that this exhibition will use original scenes and immersive design to make visitors feel as if they have entered the world of “Biohazard” in person.
To put it simply, this is not a commemorative event that simply ends with hanging all the posters from the past on the wall, but an attempt to create an experience space that truly belongs to “Biohazard”. For veteran players who have escaped all the way from the mansion to Raccoon City, and then from Raccoon City to all over the world, the attraction is obviously quite amazing.
“Resident Evil Requiem” craze continues
In fact, Capcom is quite active in celebrating the 30th anniversary of “Biohazard” this year. In addition to the anniversary exhibition, the official website has also launched a special website for the 30th anniversary, symphony concerts and various linkage activities. “Resident Evil Requiem” launched this year is also regarded as an important part of the 30th anniversary. Judging from the current planning, Capcom obviously intends to completely turn 2026 into the anniversary year of “Biohazard”.
30 years later, players are still scared
Interestingly, the “Biohazard” series has experienced action, reboot, first-person and various style changes over the years, but no matter how outsiders argue, it has always been one of Capcom’s most important signatures. While many game IPs from the same period have long since disappeared into history, “Biohazard” is not only alive, but can even hold a large-scale 30th anniversary exhibition. It can only be said that those players who walked into the mansion probably did not expect that 30 years later, they would continue to be chased by zombies, tyrants and various strange creatures.
