- A known insider says that Capcom has begun production of Resident Evil 1 Remake.
- The game is still in the early stages of development, and it could take 4 to 7 years to be completed.
- Capcom is also said to be working on Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica remakes.
Following Resident Evil Requiem, excitement for the franchise is at an all-time high. Before Requiem, Capcom was already on a roll, thanks to the success of Resident Evil 4 Remake, and it’s clear that the Japanese giant intends to continue this momentum.
New reports from a reliable source now confirm that multiple Resident Evil remakes are being worked on by Capcom. Among these, one of them is a remake of the very first title of the series.
Why it matters: Capcom began its big-budget remake spree with Resident Evil 2, leaving fans of the very first entry longing for similar treatment.
As reported by Dusk Golem, the same insider who confirmed Leon’s return in the series’ latest release, Resident Evil 1 Remake has entered production.
The insider notes that this project is anywhere from four to seven years out at the time of writing. For context, Resident Evil 0 and Code Veronica are said to be the next two remakes for the series.
Dusk Golem also admitted that there is a possibility that this remake could be cancelled early in production, stating that Capcom has a tendency to do so for its projects.
Interestingly, this would not be the first time Capcom would remake Resident Evil 1. The original title was already remade over two decades ago, but this particular re-release would be a much more ambitious project.
Fans can expect Capcom to utilize the RE Engine and give Resident Evil 1 Remake the premium treatment if the title does indeed see the light of day.
