New rumours have popped up indicating that Capcom might be working on a remake of the original Resident Evil. According to industry insider and leaker Daniel Ricthman, a remake of Resident Evil that would follow in the footsteps of other remakes in the franchise—namely Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4—is being developed.
Unfortunately, no real details about the Resident Evil remake have been revealed aside from the fact that it is currently in the works.
The fact that Capcom might be working on a remake of the original Resident Evil, however, is interesting on its own, since the game already got remade with (for the time) improved visuals back in 2002. The remake was critically-acclaimed when it came out, and eventually also got ported to modern platforms, including PC.
Remakes of Resident Evil games have been quite successful for Capcom. The company revealed earlier this month that Resident Evil 4 remake had sold more than 7 million copies.
The company is also reportedly working on a new mainline Resident Evil title, believed to be slated for January 2025.
