New details on Capcom’s forthcoming horror title Resident Evil 5 are to be featured in the next issue of Japanese publication, Weekly Famitsu, via a free DVD.

Rumours of new coverage emerged earlier this week on various Resident Evil fan sites, with official confirmation coming today in the form of a message posted on Capcom’s 25th anniversary website.



According to a translation made by members of The Horror Is Alive (a popular RE community site), the text in the image reads, ‘Biohazard 5 Exclusive Footage + Interview’ (for those unaware, Resident Evil is known as Biohazard in Japan)

The magazine is due to hit shelves in Japan on March 28. Stay tuned for further information as it becomes available.

UPDATE:

Unfortunately, Eurogamer is reporting that the DVD will not contain any new footage. There will, however, still be an interview included on the disk.

    Be a hit or another flop.Games offering so much yet few yet to deliver.I love the resident evil games from when it  was first issued on the ps1 .Top notch but yet the hold backs on games tend to put me off.For example stalker on the pc assasins creed and now this is there a release date for amazon and play.com are issueing dates of sale yet each date differs.

    Wasn't a huge fan of RE.  But I love the movies so I'll have to check out the new one see what I think I just might like it.  Sounds cool but why do we care about Japan.    I want to know about here... where I can get it.  Ha Just kidding keep the info coming.

    this game better be the jams because capcom's been dissappointing PS3 owners to the point I think they are in cohoots (spelling) with Billy G.

    I figure in the long run everything will take up lots of space, so I got a 250GB Western Digital Scorpio HDD from Newegg.com for $140.00 pretty cheap and easy to install. I don't think I'll be worrying about space for this game, or for quite some time. RE Forever !!
