ESRB listing hints at Resident Evil 5 Remake

For years, fans have been wondering if Capcom will continue its Resident Evil Remake series with the fourth and sixth mainline games. Now, it appears we have an answer, as Resident Evil 5 Remake has been spotted via the ESRB database. 

The ESRB is the US organisation in charge of assigning age and content ratings to video games. While typically the ESRB does not leak games it is aware of, every now and then, something does slip through. In this instance, as spotted by Kotaku, Resident Evil 5 Remake has made an appearance on the website.

The page was very barebones while it was still live and doesn't necessarily confirm a full-scale remake, but the game was listed for Xbox Series X/S consoles, indicating that something new is happening with the 2009 shooter.

Resident Evil 5 is already part of the Xbox backwards compatibility programme, so it is unlikely to be related to the original game.

Capcom has not yet made any official announcements regarding a Resident Evil 5 Remake, but there have been a few leaks indicating that it is happening. With the ESRB now potentially being aware of the game, we could see the remake announced within months. Sony is holding a State of Play stream later this week, so it could potentially be revealed there.
