About the game

Take command of Leon S. Kennedy, a rookie officer who walks into a bloodbath on his very first shift, or play as Claire Redfield while she races to track down her missing brother. The game relies on what were then cutting-edge 3D accelerated visuals, delivering a chilling, near-photorealistic experience. This is the original 1998 release, made available again through a collaboration between Capcom and GOG.com, published by Capcom with a 2026 listing date.

Did you know?

This is the original 1998 game rather than the 2019 remake, as the "(1998)" tag in the title makes clear.

Is K4G an official store or a keyshop?

K4G is a keyshop (marketplace) where independent sellers list keys, so prices are often lower than in official stores. Every offer on ulov.gg is clearly labeled with its store type.

Are keys from these stores legal?

Buying is legal — keys come from the grey market, so a small deactivation risk exists. So before paying, check the seller's buyer protection.

Which key region should I pick?

Global activates everywhere. Regional keys (Europe, North America, RU-CIS) only work on accounts from that region — use the Region filter to match your account.

What is an activation platform?

The service where the key activates — Steam, GOG, Epic or the publisher's platform. A key for one platform won't work on another, hence the separate filter.

What's the difference between editions?

Standard is the base game; Deluxe usually adds an expansion or bonus content. The edition filter shows exactly that variant, with no mixed prices.
