The Resident Evil series is arguably in a better place than ever. Classics are getting quality remakes left and right, while mainline sequels keep pushing the survival horror needle forward.
Several months back, Capcom announced that the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, along with Resident Evil 7, were getting PS5 and Xbox Series X|S ports. It looks as though they might arrive soon too. According to PlayStation Game Size, a Twitter account that shares PSN store updates, the Resident Evil titles mentioned above have PS4 versions now.
No official word from Capcom on this yet, but these games likely wouldn’t be PSN listings were release not imminent.

Anyone that already owns the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Resident Evil 2, 3, or 7 will automatically get the new-generation ports. Aside from (slightly) better graphics, these are still the same games you’ve played. Thankfully, save-file data is transferable from the last-generation iterations too.
I suggest anyone that hasn’t played these do so immediately. Resident Evil 2, in particular, is maybe the best horror game ever made. No, really — it’s incredible. So get on that straight away, or actual zombies might bust down your door.
