Resident Evil is entering 2027 with momentum across games, film, and physical media. After a major 2026 that includes Resident Evil Requiem, the reveal of a Code Veronica remake, and a well-received movie, the franchise will return to Raccoon City through a new vinyl soundtrack release.
A New Physical Release Arrives in January
The Resident Evil Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be released on physical vinyl on January 29, 2027. The single-LP edition uses a blood-red color scheme that matches the movie's horror-focused visual identity and includes all 29 tracks from the film across its A and B sides.
The score was composed by Hays Holladay and Ryan Holladay. Its music follows Bryan, the film's protagonist, as he attempts to reach Raccoon City General while carrying out a medical delivery. That setting reconnects the movie with the outbreak atmosphere that has defined much of Resident Evil's identity since the series began.
What the Vinyl Edition Includes
Alongside the complete soundtrack, the release contains an exclusive 12-by-12-inch artwork insert. Fans will also receive notes from director Zach Cregger and composers Hays Holladay and Ryan Holladay, giving the physical edition material beyond the music itself.
The release is positioned as a collector-focused extension of the film rather than a new game or downloadable content. It gives viewers who responded to the movie a tangible way to revisit its score and its interpretation of Raccoon City's horror.
Resident Evil's 2027 Outlook
The soundtrack is only one part of the franchise's upcoming schedule. Resident Evil Veronica, the remake of Code: Veronica, is planned for launch in 2027, although Capcom has not announced a firm release date. A fall 2027 window has been rumored, but that timing remains unconfirmed.
The wider franchise is already in a strong position. Since its 1996 debut, Resident Evil games have sold more than 200 million units, making the series Capcom's best-selling franchise. The 2026 movie also represents a notable shift for the film side of the brand, earning a 96% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes according to the source material. The soundtrack's early-2027 arrival extends that renewed attention into another format.

Expert View
This release shows how Resident Evil is using several forms of media to keep its audience engaged between major game launches. The vinyl edition gives the movie a collector presence while the planned Code: Veronica remake keeps attention on the series' game heritage. For the community, the key development is not a new playable chapter in January, but evidence that Capcom's franchise has continued reach across games, cinema, and physical collectibles.
