Capcom Confirms More Resident Evil Remakes

Exciting news for Resident Evil fans as Capcom has officially confirmed that more remakes are in the pipeline. Following the resounding success of the remakes for Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4, the gaming giant is committed to continuing this trend, although the specific title for the next remake remains shrouded in mystery.

In an interview with IGN at a PlayStation partner awards event in Japan, Yasuhiro Anpo, the director of the Resident Evil 4 remake, spilled the beans about the upcoming announcement. Anpo expressed enthusiasm for remaking classic titles, citing the positive reception of the previous three remakes as a driving force. He emphasized the joy of introducing these timeless games to a modern audience and hinted at Capcom’s intention to keep the trend alive.

Anpo also touched upon the significance of player feedback in the development process. Unlike creating a brand-new game where predicting player reception is challenging, remakes benefit from a pre-existing fan base. Anpo acknowledged the advantage of remaking games that already have a dedicated following, allowing developers to incorporate player opinions and preferences into the process. He expressed gratitude for the vocal user base, considering it a crucial factor in the positive reception of their remakes.

As for the next game on Capcom’s remake agenda, the logical choice seems to be Resident Evil 5. The conclusion of Resident Evil 4 Remake hinted at this possibility, although the game’s controversial African setting might necessitate substantial reworking. Fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement, and Anpo’s tease only adds to the anticipation. Stay tuned for more updates as Capcom prepares to unveil the next chapter in their series of beloved Resident Evil remakes.
