According to recently leaked information from the Korean Ratings Board, Capcom is hard at work adapting their popular Resident Evil: Revelations (known as Biohazard: Revelations overseas) 3DS game to what would presumably be a fully-HD or otherwise visually-enhanced version for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
The folks at CVG were one of the first to spot the entry, and believe there is some chance that the re-release could be planned as a digital download for Playstation Network and Xbox Live users.
Resident Evil: Revelations made its debut on the Nintendo 3DS portable gaming device earlier this year, and was praised by many critics and longtime fans of the series alike. With a plot centered around Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield, both now working for the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), Resident Evil: Revelations lets gamers in on the events that took place between Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5.
While the leak from the Korean Ratings Board certainly increases the odds that the Resident Evil: Revelations Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 ports will likely be headed stateside, localization is far from a guarantee. In fact, a number of Resident Evil games have never seen official releases in the United States
