‘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.
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
