Capcom's Resident Evil Future: Rumored Remakes and Expansions Fuel Fan Debate
  • Rumors swirl about Capcom's Resident Evil slate beyond RE1 Remake, including RE: Requiem DLC, RE Code Veronica Remake (targeted for 2027), RE5 Remake, RE0 Remake (2028), RE10 (2029), and a broad 'Resident Evil Remake' umbrella slated after these titles.

  • An insider known as Dusk Golem asserts that Capcom has moved into full production on a remake of the 1996 Resident Evil 1.

  • Dusk Golem also mentions a 2027 franchise meeting to chart direction based on RE:4, RE9, and a Code Veronica remake, using internal data and feedback to guide next steps.

  • Reporters urge caution given the lack of official confirmation and the speculative nature of the claims.

  • There is a strong, though unconfirmed, linkage suggested between the success of Requiem and continued development of the broader Resident Evil remake universe.

  • Fan reactions are mixed: excitement over expanding the remake universe but skepticism about remaking a remake and the idea of a shared remake canon.

  • The piece acknowledges the solid commercial and critical reception of the RE remake line and contemplates ongoing annualized releases, while questioning feasibility and ambition.

  • Fans remain interested as Capcom potentially leverages the RE engine to evolve the franchise for both new and existing audiences.

  • Resident Evil Requiem has launched on Steam and recorded the series’ best-ever peak player count on the platform.

  • The report notes production is underway but the titles are years from release.

  • Discussion includes the possibility of remaking other entries (such as RE6) to unify the franchise under a new engine and canon, while noting RE5 is not mentioned in the leak.

  • RE9 DLC is expected to exist and may be in late development, following the pattern of post-release content seen after mainline titles.
