Rumors Swirl as Resident Evil 5 Gets Rated for Xbox Series Consoles

The gaming community continues to buzz around the future of the Resident Evil franchise. While anticipation grows for the long-rumored Resident Evil 9, many players have noted that recent remakes of the earlier titles, including Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4, suggest that a remake of Resident Evil 5 could be on the horizon. In contrast, there are whispers that Resident Evil Zero might actually take precedence in receiving a remake. Recently, a development has emerged that complicates these speculations, since the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has assigned a rating to Resident Evil 5 specifically for Xbox Series consoles.

This rating indicates that the beloved horror game might soon find its way to the latest generation of Xbox systems. However, whether this will manifest as a remaster, a remake, or merely a port derived from the Xbox One version remains uncertain. As of now, Capcom has not provided any official statements to clarify these points, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more information.

What is confirmed is that this newly rated edition on Xbox Series will carry content descriptors like "graphic depictions of bloodshed, extreme brutality, and powerful language," which should come as no surprise to fans familiar with the franchise's themes. The added detail regarding "in-game purchases" may also pique the interest of gamers, hinting at possible enhancements or new features designed to modernize the experience.
