The decision over whether the highly anticipated sequel is to be released for PC is 'not clear yet'.
Capcom's Resident Evil 5 has been heavily rumoured for release on PC, but according to Capcom corporate officer Christian Svensson the decision to bring the game to PC is still to be made.
"I know that Inafune-san and I are both huge proponents of the PC platform and Capcom is an active participant in the PC Gaming Alliance. We do believe in the future of the platform and that contrary to what retail data shows, it is growing," Svensson told IGN. "Our rosy prognostications aside, somewhere the P&Ls of Capcom Japan's outings on the platform are going to come up and they are likely to have a bearing on the decision making process for future titles. That's my longwinded way of saying "stay tuned because it's not clear yet"."
Given that Capcom has already released Lost Planet and Devil May Cry 4 on PC it seemed likely that we'd see a PC version of Resident Evil 5 at some point, but perhaps the situation with PC piracy and the number of illegal downloads of Devil May Cry 4 has had a negative effect on Capcom's view of the PC.
