And for those who play on PC, you’ll also get to see the benefits. Upgrade patches for all three Will roll out for PC players at no additional cost, along with launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X | S versions.
Right now, Capcom is characterizing these as visual enhancements. With how impressive these games, especially the remakes, were in the visual department, this should be a nice upgrade for a future replay.
The Resident Evil The remakes seem to be pretty successful so far, so it’s nice to see them get support as we move into a new console generation. Following both RE2 and RE3it has been reported that a remake of Resident Evil 4 It is also in the works, though we have yet to hear any official confirmation of it.
Resident Evil 7 Also getting the upgrade nod is nice, too. The shift to first-person horror was a gamble that seemed to pay off, and soon the Baker house would be fully explorable in the next-gen fidelity. It will be terrifying, I’m sure.
The next-gen RE upgrades will start rolling out later this year.
