Highlights
- Recent Resident Evil games like RE2, RE3, and RE7 may get physical PS5 releases on July 31.
- Despite already having digital PS5 versions, these popular titles could finally see physical copies.
- Capcom has yet to officially announce any plans to that effect, however, so fans should keep their expectations in check.
Physical copies of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7 for PS5 have recently been spotted on a Romanian retailer’s website. This indicates that some recent Resident Evil games could be getting physical releases for PS5 on July 31.
These three recent Resident Evil games are available for both last-gen and current-gen consoles but did not always have native versions for PS5. Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7 eventually received digital PS5 native versions after their original launch, but never a physical release. With the success of the Resident Evil 2 remake and these other titles, it’s not surprising that this could be about to change.
11 Hardest Resident Evil Games, Ranked
Throughout the entire Resident Evil franchise, there exist some games in the series that are far harder than others for a multitude of reasons.
Now, physical PS5 versions for RE2, RE3, and RE7 briefly appeared on a Romanian retailer’s website called Jocurinoi RO. As spotted by RinoTheBouncer and AlexCardinal21, the website listed the RE games with July 31 as their release date, complete with pre-order pages, but all mentions of these games have since been removed. While Capcom has yet to announce physical versions for the PS5 Resident Evil games, the fact that all these excellent Resident Evil games already have digital PS5 versions does give the rumor more credibility.
What Resident Evil Games Could Be Getting a Physical PS5 Release on July 31?
- Resident Evil 2 (remake)
- Resident Evil 3 (remake)
- Resident Evil 7
While this is certainly exciting news for PS5 owners who love Resident Evil, many fans may likely be more interested in upcoming releases in the Resident Evil universe. Capcom recently confirmed that it has five Resident Evil games currently in development, and it’s likely that these projects include Resident Evil 9 and a remake of Resident Evil 5.
At the moment, not much is known about Resident Evil 9, but some recent Resident Evil 9 leaks indicate possible details about Capcom’s upcoming horror title. Some of these leaks claim that Chris Redfield will be Resident Evil 9’s protagonist, for example, and will be joined by other characters such as Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, and Leon S. Kennedy. Other rumors include speculation that Resident Evil 9 will be the biggest game in the franchise ever, that it will have the highest budget ever seen in the franchise, or that it could be an open-world game. All of this information should be taken with a massive grain of salt, however, as it’s entirely possible that the leaked info has been faked.
