Why a Resident Evil 5 remake seems like it might be just around the corner

Capcom has been close to Resident Evil since 2023's Resident Evil 4 remake, but there is reason to believe that a re5 remake is next.

On February 10, Entertainment Software Rating Board published another Resident Evil 5 Age classification, as noted by Twitter user Wario64. The new item in the ESRB database attaches an M (17+) rating to the game, which is compatible with its previous classifications. A special detail about the new label is that it only lists the Xbox series X and series S under the game's platforms. Although this has already led to some fan speculation about Capcom that may work with a native version of Resident Evil 5 For Microsoft's current gene consoles, this may not necessarily be the case.

ESRB recently published several new grades for older Resident Evil Games

Several other elderly people Resident evil Games also got their ESRB ratings renewed since the start of the year. This list contains Resident Evil 6The 7and Resident Evil Origins Collectiona package with HD -remaster of Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil 1. All of these grades, published at the end of January 2025, have also exclusively listed the corresponding game as the Xbox Series X/S titles. It is thus possible that they recently show up Resident Evil 5 Classification is just a case of ESRB that updates a rating.

The theory that these grades may point to an Xbox Series X/S-in-born version of the corresponding game is also not compatible with the recently renewed Resident Evil 7 classification. Specifically, the seventh numbered entry in the franchis has already received a version for Microsoft's current gene brackets back in 2022. And although none of this excludes the possibility Resident Evil 5 Making a kind of comeback in the near future, if grades show up on a remake or remaster, it would probably mention more platforms than just the Xbox series X/S.

Although there has been no lack of Resident Evil 5 Remake speculation in recent years it is unclear if such a project already exists in the works. LEAKER DUSK GOLEM has repeatedly claimed that Capcom is currently pursuing remakes of both Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica. If this information is correct, it doubts the possibility that the company also develops a Re5 Remake in parallel, in addition to the next main line in the series.
