Following the success of the Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 remakes, Capcom has confirmed plans to continue this trend, although it has not revealed which Resident Evil game will be next in line for a remake.
At the PlayStation Partner Awards event in Japan, which was attended by IGN Japan, Resident Evil 4 remake game director Yasuhiro Anpo said that the company will announce its next Resident Evil remake in due course.
“Yes,” Anpo answered when asked if Capcom wants to continue making Resident Evil remakes. “We’ve released three remakes so far, and they’ve all been received very well. Because it allows modern audiences to play these games, I’m excited to do it as someone who loves these old games, and we want to continue making more.”
We’d like to announce which games we’ll be remaking in the future in the future, so please wait until then.
With remakes of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 already out, the question arises as to which game Capcom will tackle next. Fans have long been clamoring for a remake of the Sega Dreamcast classic Resident Evil Code: Veronica, which first came out in 2000. While the game has been remastered for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and is available to play via backwards compatibility, a current-gen remake would attract a new wave of players to the game on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC.
Alternative options include the original Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0, or moving on to the more action-oriented Resident Evil 5.
“When developing a new game, you can’t predict what will be well received by players, and that makes it difficult,” Anpo continues. “In the case of a remake, there are already players who played the original, which, in my opinion, can be seen as an advantage. We are very grateful to users who openly express their opinions. This allows us to develop taking into account the player’s opinion. For example, if players think so maybe we’ll do that, I think that’s one of the reasons why our remakes are so well received.
The Resident Evil 3 remake was released in April 2020, and the Resident Evil 2 remake was released in January 2019. Fans may not have to wait long before Capcom announces the next Resident Evil remake. And here you can find out about the best games in the Resident Evil series according to rating on Metacritic
