More re-releases are needed: an insider hinted that Resident Evil 7 and Devil May Cry 5 could be released on next-gen consoles

An insider under the pseudonym AestheticGamer (Dusk Golem on the ResetEra forum) in my microblog commented on the possibility of exit Resident Evil 7 и Devil May Cry 5 on next generation consoles.

“In one of your previous posts you mentioned that RE7 and DMC5 could theoretically get next-gen versions. Are these your guesses or did you hear something from your informants?” — asked a Twitter user with the nickname The Grand Cookie.

As AestheticGamer admitted, his statements at the time were indeed partly based on speculation, but since then the insider has managed to clarify information about Capcom's plans for games on the RE Engine and new consoles.

However, AestheticGamer does not intend to share his data in the near future: “I gave the go-ahead to the people from [Biohazard] Declassified to publish an article about this in a few weeks, so I’m not going to step on their toes.”

Resident Evil 7 and Devil May Cry 5 are available on PC (Steam), PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Both sold in quantity more than 1 million copies - 7,5 million for the first (only Resident Evil 5 is better) and 3,5 million for the second.

In addition to the mentioned games, an update for the next generation consoles, according to Digital Foundry specialistsa remake wouldn't hurt Resident Evil 3 — at the launch of the project we observed performance issues on Xbox One X.

Previously, Capcom announced Resident Evil Village - a new part of the legendary horror series will be released on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X. According to information from the same AestheticGamer, the game will not appear on current generation consoles due to technical limitations.
