Resident Evil 6, the latest main entry of the Resident Evil series, has been released a while back on consoles and PC, but the game is soon going to become available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One alongside Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 4. Today, the game has become available for pre-order in certain regions on the Xbox Store, with the game's page revealing the game's file size.

According to the New Zealand Xbox Store page for Resident Evil 6, the new version of the Capcom's game will be 17.8 GB big. Resident Evil 6 has yet to become available for pre-order in North America and Europe, but with the game launching in a little over one week, it should become available in these regions soon enough.

The new version of Resident Evil 6 has been confirmed earlier this month alongside the new release of Resident Evil 4 and 5. Alongside the content of the main game, the new PS4 and Xbox One release of the game will come with all the additional post-launch content from the console version, such as DLC and all the costumes originally only available through ResidentEvil.net.

Resident Evil 6 is the biggest Resident Evil game to date with not one (Leon S. Kennedy and Helena Harper), not two (Chris Redfield and Piers Nivans), not even three (Jake Muller and Sherry Birkin), but FOUR (Ada Wong and Agent) campaigns that are all interwoven and can be played alone or coop in any order. These series staples and new characters face a global C-virus outbreak that’s threatening to destroy the world. In addition to all the story campaigns, RE6 includes a variety of multiplayer modes that vary up the action. Extra good news for everyone – the upcoming release will also include all the additional post-launch content from the console version (DLC and all the costumes originally only available through ResidentEvil.net).

Resident Evil 6 will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on March 29th in all regions. Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 4 will be released later this year. More news on these remasters will be coming soon so stay tuned for all the latest news
