Video game reboots breathe new life into beloved franchises

Notable examples include DOOM (2016), which returned to its fast-paced roots, and Resident Evil 7, which revitalized the series with a fresh perspective after a decline. Other significant reboots include Tomb Raider (2013), which transformed the iconic character and gameplay, and God of War, which redefined its protagonist and story. XCOM: Enemy Unknown modernized the classic strategy game, while Grand Theft Auto 3 revolutionized open-world gaming. Red Dead Redemption also emerged as a reboot, following the less successful Red Dead Revolver. These reboots have not only revived their franchises but also set new standards in gaming.
