Resident Evil officially returning on new-gen consoles this December

More RE goodness is on the way!

If you’re a fan of Resident Evil and collecting physical media, then these re-releases will make your day.

As much as I love the convenience of digital media whether it’s video games, movies or music, nothing beats holding a physical copy of a game, cracking that case open and inserting the disc into a PlayStation or Xbox.

Check out the Resident Evil 2 trailer below!

What’s more, video game preservation is more important now than it ever has been, especially with companies such as Ubisoft telling gamers not to get comfortable owning their games. If physical media were to die and the world was all digital, publishers would have full control of our content and I think it’s fair to say that none of us wants that.

As reported by Push Square, this is why fans of Capcom’s Resident Evil series will be pleased to know that the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes, as well as Resident Evil 7: Biohazard are getting physical re-releases on PlayStation 5.

In August 2023, Capcom announced that the Resident Evil 2 remake is currently the best-selling game in the series, so this re-release should help bump those sales a little more.

Granted, the PlayStation 4 versions of each of the above games will benefit from the free-new-gen update when played on the next-gen console, but it will still be nice to own the native PlayStation 5 copies nonetheless.

The PlayStation 5 releases will be available in Japan on 6 December 2024 before arriving in the West in January 2025. The RRP for the Japanese releases are 2,960 yen which works out to be around £15 each, which isn't all that unreasonable.

Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard will not only benefit from improved visuals and performance on PlayStation 5 but they will also take advantage of the DuelSense controller features.

All three of those Resident Evil games are out now on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and even Nintendo Switch, albeit the latter is streamed via cloud.
