Version 2.2 of RE:Enhance Mod for Resident Evil 3 Released

Leave a comment

The RE:Enhance Mod is perhaps the best mod you can use to replay Capcom’s classic Resident Evil 3. Yesterday, the modder released a brand new version of it. So, let’s see what Version 2.2 brings to the table, shall we?

For those who did not know, this mod enhances the pre-rendered backgrounds via AI tools. Moreover, the modder made thousands of manual edits to the backgrounds. The result is a game that can look crisper and more detailed than before.

Now, what’s interesting here is that this mod appears to offer better backgrounds than the Seamless HD Project. Or at least that’s what the modder claims. To prove his claims, SonicB00M shared a couple of comparisons between SHDP and RE: Enhance. From what I can see, RE: Enhance does a better job at upscaling the pre-rendered backgrounds.

Version 2.2 brings a lot of improvements that make the mod look much better. The biggest change is that hundreds of posters, signs, and labels all across the game have been manually fixed, cleaned up, or even completely remade. Many of these text details were impossible to read at the game’s original low resolution. When the images were upscaled, AI tools often guessed wrong and created messy or strange-looking text.

To fix this, the modder went through every image himself and improved all the tiny details. In some cases, he even made new assets that still fit the style and feel of the game. Thanks to this, most of the blurry or weird AI-generated text is now gone. However, he did not correct Capcom’s original spelling mistakes (like “Japanies Food,” “Restourant,” or “Shoues”). As he said, he kept them so that the game could still retain its original personality.

SonicB00M has also improved the look of most zombies and dead bodies in the background. Because of this, they now blend in much better with the environment. The Epilogue Files, inventory portraits, and end screens have been completely recreated. The new Epilogue Files look very close to the originals, but they now have much higher resolution and more detail.

Many textures for 3D models were upgraded as well. For example, Nemesis now looks much more detailed. Characters’ faces and clothing also no longer have the blurry, “smeared” look that came from older AI upscaling tools.

All in all, this is an amazing update for the RE:Enhance Mod for Resident Evil 3. Those interested can go ahead and download it from this link.

For those who did not know, SonicB00M has released a similar mod for both Resident Evil 1 and Resident Evil 2. So, you can either use those mods or the Seamless HD Project to enjoy them in 2026.

Before closing, I believe I should mention this other cool mod for Resident Evil 3. This one lets you play the game as Nemesis, the big, scary monster usually chasing you. The mod gives you two fun ways to play. These are the Original Mode and the Arrange Mode. In the Original Mode, you play through the main story of Resident Evil 3, but as Nemesis instead of Jill. It’s a cool way to experience the story from a new point of view. The Arrange Mode is quite different. You control Nemesis and hunt down S.T.A.R.S. members and mercenaries. The fights change depending on what you do. Some battles might be easier, and others might be harder, based on your choices. While playing, you can also meet other survivors in Raccoon City. It’s a unique way to see the game and explore the city through Nemesis’s eyes.

Have fun!
