Classic Resident Evil coming to next-gen consoles in 2015

Resident Evil HD

The classic Resident Evil that we all loved back in 1996 will be getting the HD makeover sometime in early 2015.

According to the press release that Capcom released today, the GameCube version of Resident Evil will be remastered. Fans of the hit classic can expect high resolution graphics in full 1080p, much better textures, 5.1 surround support and more.

The intense horror fans first experienced with the release of the original Resident Evil is back. Taking place in the now notorious Raccoon City, players will choose to take on the role of either S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Service) team member Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, who have been sent into the city to find the missing Bravo team. When the team is suddenly attacked by a ferocious group of mutated dogs, desperate for an escape they take shelter in the Mansion, but will they ever get out alive again? Players will need to be brave as they adventure through the dark, enclosed spaces searching out the horrors that await them. With limited ammo and survival items available gamers will need to keep their wits about them to survive the various traps and puzzles that greet them at every stage.

The game will be available digitally in North America sometime in early 2015 for the PC, PS4, Xbox One, and PS3.
