Summary
Capcom has plans to make moreResident Evilremakes. Remaks have been part of theResident Evilfranchise’s DNA since the early days, though Capcom has recently become more aggressive about them. Capcom has produced threeResident Evilremakes since 2019, bringingResident Evil 2,Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, andResident Evil 4to modern standards with vastly improved graphics, gameplay upgrades, and more.
After the runaway success of theResident Evil 2remake, it’s really no surprise Capcom has continued to remake games in its beloved survival-horror series. EachResident Evilremake game has been a huge commercial success, and so it may seem obvious that even more remakes could be in the pipeline. Capcom recently confirmed as much, revealing that it does indeed plan on remaking moreResident Evilgames.
As reported by IGN, Capcom recently appeared at a PlayStation event in Japan, whereResident Evil 4remake director Yasuhiro Anpo said that Capcom plans to do moreResident Evilremakes. Anpo didn’t reveal whichResident Evilgame will get the remake treatment next, but some distinct possibilities come to mind.
Obviously, the game that many fans would like to see remade next isResident Evil Code: Veronica. In fact, many fans were upset when Capcom announced plans to remakeResident Evil 4instead ofCode: Veronica, so there is clearly an appetite for the game to get a modern makeover.Code: Veronicanot being a numbered entry in the series could be part of the reason why Capcom decided to skip over it forResident Evil 4, but considering the extremely important story developments that happen in the game, it would be a mistake to leave it in the past. Unfortunately, the latest word suggests aCode: Veronicaremakeis not currently in the works, so fans shouldn’t hold their breath.
Others believe thatResident Evil 5could be next in line for a remake, or even the originalResident Evil.Capcom has multipleResident Evilgames to choose fromwhen it comes to the franchise’s next remake, and it will definitely be interesting to see what it ultimately lands on.
Anyone holding out hope for aResident Evilremake to release next year shouldn’t hold their breath, though. A reliable insider has said that there will beno newResident Evilremakes in 2024, meaning the earliest one could release is 2025. Capcom also reportedly hasResident Evil 9in active development, so who knows when the franchise’s next remake will hit the market.
