Capcom announced the next-gen upgrades for Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Resident Evil 2 Remake, and Resident Evil 3 Remake are now available.
News that had been announced months ago, however they are all available now on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Owners of PS4 will be able to get free upgrades to the next gen versions, the same goes for those who owned the Xbox One editions of the games.
The next-gen upgrades for these games will add many features such as 4K resolution, Ray Tracing, and 3D audio for additional immersion to the horror. The PC versions will be getting these upgrades as well.
It’s worth noting Capcom have posted on Steam that the minimum system requirements will increase for RE 2 Remake. Which may cause some players issues should they update their game to the latest patches.
These changes should be quite welcome for most fans though. Given recent reports, RE 7 has sold over 10 million copies. Both remakes have also seen major success in sales with 2 getting over 9 million and 3 getting over 5 million.
Here’s a rundown of 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.
