Resident Evil 5 PS4, Xbox One Release Date Confirmed

No Mercy mode to also be included.

44 Comments

Capcom has announced that an updated version of Resident Evil 5 will be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One from June 28.

The re-release will feature an improved frame rate and 1080p resolution. It will also include all previously released DLC, such as the Lost in Nightmare and Desperate Escape story episodes.

Additionally, The Mercenaries United mode will also be included, and all characters will be unlocked from the outset. This is a more arcade shooter experience that tasks players with chaining zombie kills and completing objectives with a time limit.

When Resident Evil 5 was previously released for PC, a more difficult version of Mercenaries called No Mercy was made available. This will be part of the new console re-release.

Take a look at the gallery below for screenshots of the new version of Resident Evil 5.

In February, Capcom announced plans to re-release Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, and Resident Evil 6 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Resident Evil 6 was released in March. Each game will cost $20 / €20 / £16.

Reports have suggested Resident Evil 7 is in development and will be announced E3 2016. The sequel will reportedly go back to its horror roots and Capcom has hired designer Jordan Amaro to work on it. Amaro previously worked on P.T. (Silent Hills) and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Why is his arms so big and why is her chest not bigger for a Japanese game.

this is the game that brought me to online gaming. thx re5, i love and hate you for it. i have spent an incredible amount of hours playing this, most of it in mercs and mercs reunion (not "united" btw). ah, i miss my studying days... except for the money :) solo score of 819k with Barry in Prison (booyah!). well i will definitely get this and see if i still got it. it also had the best inventory system of all resident evil games. small and challenging which made it simply perfect. The shooting was really good too, enemies react to almost all bullets, depending on where you hit them (which you can use to setup different melee attacks), i hate games where you pump bullets into enemies without them ever flinching.

damn i'm even more psyched now after writing and remembering all this.

I actually have fond memories of this game from when I first moved out of my parents house. It was about a week after I moved out when I purchased this game and invited my kid brother over to play. We stayed up till 6am playing but couldn't get passed one of the final stages. Spent nearly an hour at it before we gave up, only to realize later that just off to the left of where we were stuck at was a mounted turret we could have used to mow down the big guys with the gatling guns. If the game still has split-screen co-op, I may pick it up again just for the hell-of-it.

No doubt all these re-releases capcom is putting out are lining their pockets. All that money better mean resident evil 2 and 7 are getting high budgets to work with.

Capcom got nothing to do just releasing all these useless old Resident Evil games over and over. Using the brand name of the series to make sales. You can keep it Capcom.

Like we haven't been told this a dozen times already.

@ExoticCharm: I honestly just hope they do a fine job with Remake2
The story has been a fucking mess since the 4th one came out. Couldn't care less about Resident evil 7.

@ExoticCharm: That was the whole point of Revelations. Then the game got popular, and Revelations 2 happened.

@Barighm: did you like the 1st revelations better than the 2nd? the story while playing jill was cool, but all the other characters' chapters and the gameplay in general were kinda "meh". i was playing the ps3 re-release though and the game was initially for handhelds only if i remember correctly.

Pass. Loved the game, played the crap out of it, and it was a blast to play way back when but I have no desire to replay it.

@nintendians: Totally agreed. Dino Crisis feels like a franchise that can greatly benefit from the new school design.

RE5 on the X360 looked already graphically impressive and polished...there was no need for a remaster as the difference will not be any great.

With that said,if you didnt played Re5 and like a good co-op game with monsters to shoot and plenty of weps and upgrades...give it a try

@zerofrust: Or a more apt term in their case - regurgitating instead of remastering.

I don't get why this game had to be remastered. It was a decent action game, but by no means a classic. And I firmly believe that only classics should be remastered.

@alien33: it was a decent game... keep in mind that these releases are part of a larger strategy before capcom announces and releases resi 7. perhaps we will learn more in a couple weeks at e3. they want to get as many people invested, or at the least, aware, of the series (newcomers as well) before they put out their new game. plus, this will bring them additional revenue streams so i don't see why not.

@zerofrust: I know, I know... But I still think that only true classics should be re-released/remastered... That's the point of bringing back something old. So that new generations can experience a masterpiece. Resident Evil 5 is neither old nor masterpiece.

@alien33: My sister thinks it's a masterpiece.

See, that's why this sort of logic doesn't work.

It's a real shame that split screen retains that odd aspect ratio where one third of the screen is black...
