North America
This is the box art design that you’re probably most used to seeing given that it’s since been used for re-releases on the likes of the Xbox 360 and PS4. It features Chris and Claire Redfield front and centre, with the spectre of Albert Wesker looming in the background. We’re not sure about the blue glow around Chris and Claire, but it’s a cool, atmospheric piece.
Europe
Europe’s design is pretty cool. It’s an extreme close-up of Claire Redfield’s face, indicating her status as the game’s main character. You can also see images of a zombie in Claire’s eyes, which is just so cool. Truth be told, you just wouldn’t see box art designs like this these days – a true product of its time.
Japan
Japan went down a similar route to North America, albeit without the presence of Albert Wesker. Instead, we see Chris and Claire facing away from each other with an ominous spooky environment seen in the background. There’s quite a lot of text here, which is quite typical of Japanese box arts, but it’s a decent effort.
Thank you for voting! We’ll see you next week for another edition of Box Art Brawl!
