Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7 to Get Next-Gen Versions in 2022

The remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3 as well as the critically acclaimed series revival Resident Evil 7 will receive several next-gen upgrades throughout 2022. The next-gen updates will come to both PC and consoles throughout the year and owners of the current versions of the games will be eligible for free upgrades.

Capcom also mentioned that the next-generation versions of the three latest Resident Evil titles will get some new improvements. All three titles will tout cutting-edge features including ray tracing, high frame rate, and 3D audio to enhance the immersion of the award-winning experiences. For PlayStation 5 players, all three titles also feature engaging DualSense support for Haptic Feedback and Adaptive Triggers.

If you own the games on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, you don't need to worry about adding another $70 USD per entry. In fact, you don't need to worry about paying anything at all. Current owners of the previous-gen versions of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7 are eligible for an upgrade at no additional cost through PS4 to PS5 (digital) and Xbox One to Xbox Series through Smart Delivery.

Fans will be able to re-experience the spine-chilling horrors and incredible visuals of these fan-favorite titles on the latest generation of consoles. PC players don't need to worry, either as the current versions of the games will be updated to receive all of the next-gen upgrades. As such, the PC players will not be left out of the next-generation upgrade fold.

In other Capcom news, a recent change to their licensing policy has left many players in the FGC confused. Following the announcement of Street Fighter 6, Capcom made several revisions to their licensing policy which have completely disrupted the flow of the fighting game community. These changes include several rulings against high prize pools and a lot of other regulations that have been met with massive backlash.
