Resident Evil 5 is to undergo a small makeover, re-emerging next year in the form of Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition. True, the title isn’t especially original, but the game is worth getting hot-and-bothered about if you enjoyed incapacitating zombies the first time around.

As announced at Sony’s Tokyo Game Show press conference, the Alternative Edition is said to incorporate full support for the forthcoming PS3 wand, as well as a Jill-centric sub-mission dedicated to the BSAA’s infiltration of Spencer Mansion (home to Umbrella Corp. founder Ozwell E. Spencer) three years prior to the plot of RE5.

Though that’s all we know about at the moment, that’s not all we can expect. Capcom Director Jun Takeuchi has assured gamers that, because this will be a brand-new release, there will be further content added before the game’s launch next year.
