Resident Evil can never die and with Resident Evil 5 and 6 seeing new ratings by the ESRB, two of the series' more divisive entries are likely set for new lifeTech11:31, 11 Feb 2025Updated 11:31, 11 Feb 2025Ready to punch a boulder?You can't keep a good zombie down, and Resident Evil is a testament to that. The survival horror franchise has been around since 1996, and in the years since we've seen a mind-boggling number of titles ranging from the sublime (Resident Evil 4) to the silly (Umbrella Corp).The series' last mainline instalment, Village, launched in 2021, but Capcom has done a great job of reanimating (see what we did there?) earlier entries with full-blown remakes. We've seen fresh versions of the first game, Resident Evil 2, 3, and the incredible Resident Evil 4 Remake from 2023.Now, a new ESRB rating may have confirmed that two more games are heading for current-gen consoles, although it's not clear whether either will get the full remake treatment.Could a Resident Evil 6 remake improve the game?Resident Evil 6 was rated by the ESRB last month, while Resident Evil 5 has been rated more recently. You can view the rating here, but it certainly reads like, well, a Resident Evil game.Both games were divisive at launch. Resident Evil 5 moved the action to Africa, drawing some criticism for early trailers that showed a white protagonist killing black enemies, but it's mostly remembered as a fun, formulaic co-op adventure that amplifies a lot of the series' inherent silliness (who could forget the scene where Chris Redfield punches a boulder to pieces?).Still, it dropped a lot of the classic survival horror elements of the series up to that point, something which continued with Resident Evil 6. The 2012 release offered a series of interlinking campaigns focused on different gameplay styles, but none of them really came together in a way that satisfied horror or action fans.Both games have since been ported to other platforms, but with Capcom committing to more remakes and reaching Resident Evil 4 in doing so, it's perhaps no surprise what comes next although fans are no doubt hoping Code Veronica, released in 2000, will get a look-in.Article continues belowAs for Capcom, the company is preparing to release Monster Hunter Wilds this month, one of the biggest confirmed games of 2025 so far.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.
