The return of Resident Evil 5 in the form of a remake is once again in the spotlight. After months of rumors and leaks, new signs have emerged that reinforce the idea that Capcom already has the project underway, and this time they come from a source that’s hard to ignore.

In recent hours, the community has detected movements that go beyond mere speculation, fueling the feeling that the official announcement may not be too far away.

A Resident Evil 5 registration for Xbox Series points to a remake

The latest clue comes from the ESRB rating organization, where a new version of Resident Evil 5 has been listed for Xbox Series. What’s striking is that it doesn’t match a re-release or a remaster, as the description mentions integrated microtransactions in the game.

This detail has sparked special interest because the most recent version published by Capcom (the one for PS4 and Xbox One) included all downloadable content in a single package, without additional monetization systems. In contrast, in recent years the company has started to introduce optional microtransactions in its modern titles, usually related to progression aids or collectible location, something that has already been seen in recent remakes of the saga.

This information adds to previous hints, such as public messages from original cast members that had already caught the attention of fans. With Resident Evil Requiem about to close its promotional cycle, it wouldn’t be surprising if Capcom focused its next major announcement on Resident Evil 5 Remake.

For now, there is no official confirmation, but the accumulated clues make it increasingly difficult to think it’s just a coincidence. Everything points to the return of one of the most controversial chapters in the saga being prepared for a new era.
