Returning To Your Residence... Evil

Survival horror fans rejoice, as it is now confirmed that Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica X will be making their way to your favourite console via digital downloads. Both games will be given the HD touch-up and will be released around the end of the year, to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the franchise.

If you're hoping to get back further in the history of Resident Evil though, keep an eye out because a story that has apparently been leaked from the upcoming issue of OXM has details on the next Resident Evil game, titled Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. ORC will apparently take you back to the 1998 Raccoon City incident, but will see you make your way through the city as a 4-man team of Umbrella Security Service Operatives. Named Vector, Beltway, Bertha and Spectre, the operatives are based around Resident Evil 2's secret character Hunk.

**********SPOILERS**************
The team will be tasked with covering up the epidemic and eliminating survivors, and as such, will end up fighting not just the zombies but also survivors and Spec Ops soldiers. ORC will also allow you to rewrite major parts of the Resident Evil history by killing key survivors such as Leon Kennedy.
*******END SPOILERS*************

So it's looking to be a busy year for Resident Evil fans... The Operation Raccoon City story is yet to be confirmed, but should be soon, so keep watch for more details and for the release dates and any further info on the RE4 / RE:CVX releases.
