Resident Evil Fans Rejoice: Capcom Teases Multiple Remakes in the Works
Capcom teases fans with the possibility of more Resident Evil remakes, indicating their continued interest in bringing back classic titles for newer generations to enjoy
Capcom recently conducted a survey that suggests they may continue to produce remakes for the Resident Evil series in the future. With a track record of successful remakes under their belt, including the acclaimed Resident Evil 4 Remake, the company shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Fans have been speculating whether the next game in the franchise would be Resident Evil 9, following the events of Resident Evil Village, or if another title would receive the remake treatment. Based on the survey results, it appears that the latter may be the case.
Capcom has recently sparked speculation regarding the future of the Resident Evil series by conducting a survey to gauge players' interests. The survey covers various aspects of the franchise such as the Ambassador Program, RENet, as well as other miscellaneous parts including novels, stage performances, amusement rides, and movies. Notably, one of the final questions asked fans about which game in the Resident Evil series they would like to see remade. Resident Evil: Code Veronica, a spin-off that ties into Resident Evil 2 and its storyline, is among the most popular responses.
The demand for a Code Veronica remake has been persistent for quite some time, preceding even the announcement of Resident Evil 3's remake. The game's enduring popularity is undeniable, and while Capcom has yet to confirm its plans, there are various possibilities to consider. Though Code Veronica could be a viable candidate, some speculate that Capcom may opt to focus on Resident Evil 5 instead, given the teaser featured in the post-credits scene of the Resident Evil 4 Remake. Alternatively, they may choose to revisit Resident Evil Zero or move forward with a new mainline entry. However, it's important to note that surveys are not always indicative of actual outcomes, and while it's likely that Capcom will continue to produce RE remakes, the specifics of their plans remain uncertain.
Resident Evil 4 Remake is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
