Capcom: Resident Evil 5 to remain multiplatform

Resident Evil 5 is certainly looking to be a next-gen zombie shooter. But is it really going to take care of both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, or does it have an exclusive future? Check out Capcom‘s final statement regarding this matter, and how owners of both consoles should rest easy in the full article.

Resident Evil fans worried about the upcoming sequel to become exclusive to only one platform, rejoice. In an act of almost-unsolicited rumor-bashing, Capcom has finally come out and confirmed that Chris Redfield WILL be blasting away zombies on both the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360.

This statement comes directly from Capcom Senior Director of Communications Chris Kramer who was queried about certain speculations going around that Microsoft had secured Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Xbox 360) as an exclusive.

The speculations themselves are based on some online retailers only listing the Xbox 360 version, and not the PS3 one. Kramer explains that they haven’t quite disseminated information about the game yet to the retailers themselves, so it’s more than likely that it’s just a hiccup in the system. In fact, Capcom plans to have both versions out at the same day, much like Devil May Cry 4 (PS3, Xbox 360). So put those doubts to rest, and practice your headshots.
