The latest edition of magazine EGM has revealed what we all kind of assumed any way; namely that are currently plotting 5. Producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi revealed the news: "We are going to do a Resident Evil 5, of course, but as for exactly what it will be like... that's something we're busy thinking about right now...[RE4] is the start of a new storyline. In other words, when you think of it that way, then it's safe to say that RE5 will naturally proceed from where RE4 left off."

With RE4 being ported to the as we speak, it is expected that number five in the series may go multi-platform again, after recent instalments were exclusive to the GameCube. Numero four is due out in imminently and looks like it'll give a good indication of where number five is heading if Kobayashi's statement can be taken on face value.
