It's no secret Resident Evil 3 is one of the most anticipated games releasing in 2020. The remake of Resident Evil 2 was a breakout hit last year, and in December, Capcom revealed that a remake of Resident Evil 3 had also been in development and would release April 3 for PS4 and Xbox One. Now that we're in February, that date isn't too far off, and if you know Resident Evil 3 is a day-one purchase for you, you might want to take advantage of a rare pre-order discount at Amazon. [Update: Walmart is now price-matching this deal as well.]

Right now, you can secure a pre-order of Resident Evil 3 for $49.94, down from the usual list price of $60. The deal is available for both PS4 and Xbox One, and we suggest taking advantage of it ASAP in case pre-orders sell out or the discount ends unexpectedly.

With Amazon pre-orders, you aren't charged until the item ships, so you can safely cancel your order up until a few days before the game releases. Amazon also offers a pre-order price guarantee on games, meaning that if the price drops even cheaper between now and when the item ships, you'll be charged the lowest price that was available. The retailer is also offering release-day shipping for this purchase, so you'll have it in your hands on April 3.

Resident Evil 3 takes place around the same events as Resident Evil 2, except in this game, you'll play as Jill Valentine, a former Special Tactics and Rescue Service (or S.T.A.R.S.) member trying to escape the outbreak in Raccoon City. In RE3, prepare to encounter Nemesis, a huge monster that will stalk you relentlessly throughout the game. You'll also have to make choices throughout the game that affect Jill's story and ending.

Resident Evil 3 isn't the only upcoming game on sale right now at Amazon. You can also pre-order Cyberpunk 2077 for the same discounted price, along with a bunch of other game deals this week, including Pokemon Sword and Shield for $49, Devil May Cry 5 for $20, and more.
