Pre-Ordering Resident Evil 7 In The US Nets You A Free Copy Of Resident Evil: Retribution

Pre-ordering Resident Evil 7 ahead of its release later this month will net you a free digital copy of Resident Evil: Retribution for your chosen platform, Capcom has announced. The promotion, which is only applicable to those living in the US, is open to all pre-orders placed at retailer GameStop, where you’ll receive a redemption code to download the film upon pre-ordering the latest game in the series. If you’ve already secured your pre-order, don’t worry – all existing orders are included in the offer.

Released back in 2012, Retribution continues protagonist Alice’s crusade against the Umbrella Corporation and the maniacal Albert Wesker, although it wasn’t exactly welcomed with open arms by critics. The lukewarm reception doesn’t appear to have deterred Sony, however. A sequel, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is scheduled to release in cinemas at the end of the month. Assuming the above promotion is an attempt by Capcom to incentivize fence-sitters to secure their pre-order for Resident Evil 7, we can’t help but think a promotion for the Resident Evil HD Remake would have done the job better.

Either way, if you’re a fan of the film series, see everything you need to know in the details below, courtesy of Capcom.
