Capcom has announced Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remakes and Resident Evil 7 are all coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
While Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remakes and Resident Evil 7 are all coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, a release is set for sometime “later this year.” Fans who own the games on Xbox One or PlayStation 4 can upgrade at no extra cost via Xbox Smart Delivery or PS4 to PS5 upgrading, and PC users will get a free performance upgrade.
Capcom notes the next-generation release for all three games will include ray tracing, high frame rate and 3D audio, as well as DualSense support for Haptic Feedback and Adaptive Triggers on PlayStation 5. Â
Here’s a rundown on all three games:
Resident Evil 2
Based on the original genre-defining masterpiece, Resident Evil 2 has been completely rebuilt from the ground up for a deeper narrative experience. Using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, this reimagining of Resident Evil 2 offers a fresh take on the classic survival horror saga with breathtakingly realistic visuals, heart-pounding immersive audio, a new over-the-shoulder camera, and modernized controls on top of gameplay modes from the original game.
Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil 3 tells the story of S.T.A.R.S. member Jill Valentine as she escapes from a crumbling Raccoon City and the relentless Nemesis. Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine combines photorealistic visuals and a modernized control scheme with the series’ intense combat and puzzle solving to deliver the action-packed final chapter of Raccoon City’s collapse.
Resident Evil 7 biohazard
Resident Evil 7 biohazard set a new course for the Resident Evil series when it released, leveraging its roots while opening the door to a truly terrifying horror experience. A dramatic new shift for the series to first-person view in a photorealistic style powered by Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, Resident Evil 7 biohazard delivers an unprecedented level of immersion that brings the thrilling horror up close and personal.
