Resident Evil 5 Arrives In Late June On Current-Gen Consoles
A listing on the official Xbox website points to a release date for Capcom’s next Resident Evil release. Resident Evil 5 appears to be arriving on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in late June.
The listing on Xbox.com suggests a June 28 release date for the current-gen version. If the description is accurate, Resident Evil 5 will sport 1080p resolution and improved frame rate.
All of the DLC is said to be part of the $20 package, including two story expansions, versus mode, and more. The No Mercy mode, previously exclusive to the PC version, will be part of the current-gen offering.
We’ve reached out to Capcom for confirmation. We’ll update once we know more.
This is the 20th anniversary of the Resident Evil franchise, and Capcom has a number of releases planned. In addition to the current-gen updates of Resident Evil 4 through 6, a full HD remake of Resident Evil 2 is planned. Umbrella Corps, a team-based shooter, is also due out on June 21.
Update: Capcom has confirmed the release date and included DLC details.

Our Take
Microsoft’s listings aren’t always accurate. However, this likely gives us a good idea of a release window and contents.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
