The Resident Evil franchise is enjoying a resurgence of late. Resident Evil 7 Biohazard was considered to be a massive step in the right direction, and this momentum continued with the release of Resident Evil Village last year. The full remakes of RE2 and RE3 were also well-received, and it looks the franchise is healthier than ever before.Capcom had earlier confirmed that Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7 will all get updated for current-gen consoles. These games will get support for ray tracing, high frame rate, and 3D audio, along with Haptic Feedback and Adaptive Triggers for the PS5 version. Additionally, anyone who owns these games will be eligible for a digital upgrade at no extra cost. Now, Capcom has just shared more news that will further please existing owners.RELATED: Footage Shows What Resident Evil 4 Could Look Like as A ‘Demake'The official Resident Evil Twitter account states that fans will be able to transfer their existing save data from the PS4 and Xbox One versions of these games to the upgraded editions. It also confirms that DLC which comes with the gold edition of Resident Evil 7 will transfer over, which includes Banned Footage Vol. 1, Banned Footage Vol. 2, and End of Zoe. The Not A Hero DLC for RE7 allows fans to play as Chris Redfield and is free for all users.

Capcom has not detailed how this save transfer will take place, but Xbox fans can rest easy as the process will be done via Smart Delivery. Sony was widely criticized for its convoluted save-transfer system, which usually makes users download both the PS4 and PS5 versions of the game. It has even resulted in some developers not offering any path to transfer the saves between the two machines. This problem has since been rectified in games like Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, and it’ll be interesting to see if Capcom can manage to ease the process for the end-user.

The upgraded versions of these games will release later this year, but there are several more Resident Evil games in development at Capcom. DLC for Resident Evil Village and the multiplayer-focused Resident Evil RE:Verse are both confirmed, and several rumors suggest that Capcom is also working on a full remake of Resident Evil 4. Considering the reception and sales of the RE2 and RE3 remakes, it makes sense to give RE4 a similar treatment. Capcom may even go above and beyond, as many consider RE4 to be one of the best games of all time.

Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7 are set to receive upgrade patches on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S later this year.
