A “Final Build” of the Cancelled Game Boy Color Port of ‘Resident Evil’ Has Been Released

December 18, 2025 Bloody Disgusting

Fans of Capcom’s Resident Evil series have known for a long time about the ambitious but ultimately cancelled Game Boy Color version of the original game. Developed by British studio HotGen, cramming a version of the 32-bit survival horror classic onto a Game Boy cart unfortunately seemed to be too great a feat, and the project was scrapped in 2000. However, thanks to lost media website Games That Weren’t, fans can now see just what HotGen was up to, as a final build of the game has now been recovered!
