Initially released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and remastered in 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, this new version is expected to also launch on PlayStation 5. While details are scarce, the ESRB listing notably describes the game as "survival horror," a shift from the "third-person shooter" classification of previous versions. Further details are anticipated.

Beyond this remaster, excitement builds for Resident Evil 9, rumored to be set four years after Resident Evil Village.
