More Resident Evil Remakes May Release On PS5 During Capcom Showcase
screenrant.comThe remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 may be getting dedicated PlayStation 5 releases alongside Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, potentially as early as the Capcom Showcase scheduled for June 13, according to leaks. Game files added to the PlayStation Network database hint at an imminent launch of the upgraded versions, which Capcom earlier this year confirmed would be coming to the Xbox Series X/S as well.
Remakes have long been a staple of the Resident Evil series, with the original game receiving one just six years after its 1996 launch, but Capcom has more recently been overhauling its classic titles, starting with RE2 and RE3. The trend continues with the recently announced Resident Evil 4 remake, which reimagines its story. Resident Evil 7, however, released in 2017 as something of a series reinvention itself. RE7 and both remakes have been playable on the new consoles with moderate performance improvements, but these rereleases are expected to be more significant upgrades.

This conveniently comes just days ahead of the Capcom Showcase scheduled for 3pm Pacific on June 13, where the company will be sharing news on a variety of its properties. Although a surprise release is unconfirmed, the PS5 files showing up on the PSN back end signals they will launch soon, and suddenly dropping games or upgrades like these always sparks excitement from fans.
