Capcom has said that it will try to release Resident Evil 5 for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 at the same time before the end of 2008. The news is from Capcom's latest financial report.

Capcom has unveiled that it plans to bring Resident Evil 5 out simultaneously for Xbox 360 and PS3 before the end of its financial year '08, which ends April.

The news comes straight out of the company's latest financial report and also lists Bionic Commando and MotoGP 08 as planned releases before the end of FY 08.

It's worth noting that the financial year ends next April. Looking back over past release dates, Resident Evil 4 came out in January and March in Japan and Europe respectively, so there is a chance is won't make the shelf before Christmas.

Even so, we can only hope. Xbox World 360 wrote in its latest preview of the game, "Throw in advanced physics that heighten the game's key themes of heat and cold (atmospherics now possible thanks to high def visuals), plus a storyline that looks to pick up after the events of Code Veronica and you have about the most eagerly-anticipated game this side of Halo 3."

We couldn't agree more.
