"The Entertainment Software Ratings Board may have just inadvertently spoiled the reveal of Capcom's next Resident Evil remake, as an Xbox Series page for Resident Evil 5 has just appeared on the ratings board's website. While the listing on the ESRB's website doesn't mention a PlayStation 5 version, the timing is especially suspect, as Sony just announced a State of Play livestream for February 12. For context, Resident Evil 4 Remake was revealed during a State of Play in June 2022."
"The for the Xbox Series version of Resident Evil 5 is relatively sparse as far as new information is concerned, but there is one small piece of info that points to this being a full-blown remake: the "In-Game Purchases" tag. Capcom is a fan of dropping microtransaction-esque DLCs for their modern games at release, such as Resident Evil 4 Remake's "Treasure Map: Expansion" DLC and Dragon's Dogma 2's much-maligned "Portcrystal" DLC."
An ESRB page listing an Xbox Series version of Resident Evil 5 has appeared, omitting a PlayStation 5 entry and coinciding with a February 12 State of Play livestream. The ESRB entry includes an "In-Game Purchases" tag, which points toward launch DLC or microtransaction features and supports the possibility of a full remake. Capcom's recent use of launch DLC examples includes Resident Evil 4 Remake's "Treasure Map: Expansion" and Dragon's Dogma 2's "Portcrystal." A voice/mocap actor for Sheva Alomar posted March-related Resident Evil hashtags, while some leakers claim a different remake is next.
