It seems that Capcom is preparing a nice little announcement for Resident Evil PS5 players. News that will greatly delight collectors.
After completely dividing with RE5 and RE6, Capcom’s horrific saga made a comeback with the magnificent Resident Evil 2 Remake. Even if your servant is still disappointed with the appearance of the Licker, because of a much less striking staging than the original, this remains a very high-level rereading. If you also liked or even adored this new version, or were waiting to discover it in the best possible conditions on PS5, there may be a nice surprise.
Resident Evil 2, 3 and 7 back on PS5?
If the rumors are true, Resident Evil 9 could perhaps be released in 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. In addition to this episode of the main series, Capcom also has several remakes in the works. For the moment, there is really no certainty, but RE5 and Code Veronica could be the next games to undergo a facelift. Unless the publisher decides to surprise by producing a new version of the first game, but swapping the fixed camera angles of Rebirth for a third-person view. But Capcom would rather have another announcement to make in the short term.
According to a Romanian retailer, Resident Evil 2, 3 and Resident Evil 7 are set to return to PS5 later this year. Maybe even this summer according to the Jocurinoi website. So you will tell us that the three games are already available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. And it’s true since the Japanese publisher has even deployed free updates with great new features. The already wonderful sound design has been further improved with 3D audio compatibility, the framerate has been improved and ray-tracing has been added.
Unfortunately, if you’re attached to the physical, there’s no way to get Resident Evil 2, 3 & 7 this way on PS5 – nor on Xbox Series X|S. However, if the Jocurinoi store is to be believed, PlayStation 5 boxed versions would be planned for July 31, 2024 – a date that looks like a placeholder to allow pre-orders. Since this discovery of RinoTheBouncer, the files seem to have been deleted, but on the Internet, nothing is ever lost. If this is true, collectors will be over the moon and will be able to add these pieces to their collection.
