‘Resident Evil 5’ Arrives June 28 for PS4 and Xbox One

I hope you like zombie games, because June is going to be lousy with them. Capcom has announced a release date for the digital re-release of Resident Evil 5, which they’re bringing digitally to PS4 and Xbox One on June 28 — the same day 7 Days to Die shambles onto those two platforms — followed by a retail release on July 12. That puts a week between it and the competitive multiplayer spin-off Umbrella Corps that releases a week earlier on PC and PS4.

When Resident Evil 5 returns, it’ll come with all of its previously released DLC. This includes the story DLC Desperate Escape and Lost in Nightmares, the latter of which I highly recommend you try on its hardest difficulty, for that’s when it truly becomes nightmarish.

I barely touched the bad idea that was its Mercenaries multiplayer mode. That’s not going to change anytime soon, but if you’re curious about it, Capcom has consolidated all of the competitive multiplayer content in the new Mercenaries United mode. They’ve even included the No Mercy mode that was previously exclusive to PC.

If you feel like your fancy’s been struck and you have $19.99 you’re looking to get rid of, the game is now available to pre-order on Xbox. And to clarify, this is not a remaster of Resident Evil 5. I’ve noticed some confusion on that. These are essentially Game of the Year editions, the only technical improvements are the increased frame rate and added support for 1080p.

This leaves us with Resident Evil 4, which they’re planning to release on PS4 and Xbox One sometime this fall.

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
