We are extremely excited and proud to be able to give back to our great community both past, present and future! Thanks to some wonderful help and our own eagerness to give back, we’re going to be giving away (3) standard copies of Resident Evil Requiem and (1) collectors edition. We will be shipping these worldwide, not just domestically. The drawing will go from today until 11/30. We will consider live streaming the drawing event!
Rules are very simple: Must be registered here. Post in this thread, simply introduce yourself and let us know why you love Biohazard! We’d ask for you to stick around, contribute and help shape the future of the community into what you want it to be, but it’s not mandatory (we understand some prefer to read more than type). That’s it!
ANNIVERSARY:
We’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who has ever contributed as far back as 2005 and as new as 2025. To see some more of where we truly started, please check out our older 5th Anniversary article as it details some fun evolution and the inception of the site. In short, Biohaze originally started as a thread during the early 2000’s on the GameSpot forums in which I moderated at. Eventually we outgrew the thread and I decided to create a website to house our community. One driving point about Biohaze was that it never was a replacement or direct competitor to other fan sites, but instead a complimentary addition. We worked closely with other communities to form a hub and bring positive and passionate fans together from all areas. Many staffers and early members from our site went on to do very special things in the Biohazard community, some such as: cvxfreak and his best selling book, Katastrophe and her tenure at Capcom, TheBatMan and his Podcast, Newsbot and his never ending lore work and so many more.
If Biohaze was known for one thing during this span, it’d be community. We brought Outbreak players together with a database, play dates and competitions. We won the Kijuju competition by Capcom, where many of our users were able to meet IRL and compete against other communities (all before social media). We attended and broke news from TGS live during an era where content creation was in its infancy. Interviewed developers, voice actors and so many awesome people, Being a fan site for 20 years, we’ve seen ups and downs that tie in with the series itself, the evolution of technology, social media and many more factors.
Originally Biohaze housed an encyclopedia worth of information by members and staffers. It was a tough task as the site was also designed to stand out visually during the time, so incorporating more was a very custom process. As time passed however and tech became much more streamlined with mobile, as did social media, much of what we worked on was simply better left in the past. During this time I considered closing the site, though many urged me to keep history alive as it meant something to them, as it did to myself as well. Admittedly some of the transition was bumpy, going from a visually intensive sliced site to something more responsive and modern took a couple of tries. Our forums housed 15 years worth of discussion and while it did back up along with the site, it wasn’t able to be transferred as we had hoped. (A future mirror may be possible, however WayBack Machine now does a very good job at being able to browse the past site here and forums here.) After careful consideration we decided to pick a few of the points Biohaze could stand out in 2025 with, trim some fat and double down on the main course.
Today going forward we want to keep the focus on what made the site thrive in the first place: community and exclusive long form. While social media houses infinite amounts of community, there is still a place in our heart for being able to write an in depth post at your own leisure, receive in depth responses and know that discussion will be archived safely forever. That is our commitment to you going forward. In addition to this, to provide you with 100% credible news, opinion pieces and exclusive hands on content (such as these closed door RE9 impressions). We’re happy to start a new phase on our 20th year and not be closing the book. Thank you to everyone who has contributed over the years and most of all the great relationships made due to it. We’re 100% ran and upkept internally, we don’t take any donations nowadays. All we ask is to contribute with your interactions as we love to see it!
