Capcom confirms more Resident Evil remakes are on the way
destructoid.comIt won’t come as a surprise to anyone considering the success Capcom has had with past Resident Evil remakes, but the company has plans for more.
This was mentioned by Resident Evil 4 Remake director Yasuhiro Anpo at a PlayStation partner awards event in Japan, IGN reports. He doesn’t go so far as to reveal which title is up next, but he does state it is something that will be announced in the future.
According to Anpo, Capcom looks to audience responses to gauge how it should tackle remakes. For this reason, the company is very grateful for the opinions fans voice, as it helps it to “develop with the player’s opinion in mind.” RE4 Remake producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi also chimes in on how the RE Engine has facilitated development. Things are looking to only improve with the engine, as Capcom has revealed that you can expect more from it, including greater ray tracing features and improved console performance.
Naturally, one would expect Resident Evil 5 to be the next game up. It’s the third-bestselling title in the franchise, sitting behind only Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 2. However, for players drawn in by the remakes, it may be a surprise to see just how action-focused the franchise can get.
Fans have long hoped for a remake of 2000’s Code: Veronica, though the game has received a remaster before. Resident Evil Zero is also an option and you can also pick up a remastered version of this 2002 game.
It’s a good idea to keep your eye on Capcom in 2024, as it has a few big titles planned. One of the first is Dragon’s Dogma 2 which has received a March 22 release date.
