Capcom's Resident Evil 3: Nemesis will be published by Eidos Interactive for PC throughout Europe and Australia.
"Since its release in 1996, the Resident Evil series has sold nearly 10 million units world-wide, making it one of the biggest selling games franchises of all time," says
Mike McGarvey, chief operating officer of Eidos Interactive.
" Eidos is delighted to have been appointed the publisher of choice for the PC version in Europe and Australia. We're sure we'll be able to replicate with the PC release, the chart-topping success we had with the PlayStation, which was number one for three weeks."
In Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Jill Valentine, heroine and survivor of the nightmare that began in the original Resident Evil game returns as a member of the S.T.A.R.S (Special Tactics and Rescue Service) team. This action-adventure game also reveals more details of the evil Umbrella Corporation and its corrupt plans of genetic mutation for use in biological warfare. The G-Virus that has been developed by the corporation turns people into flesh-eating zombies.
The plot in Resident Evil 3 begins just hours before the events of Resident Evil 2.
