Capcom's Resident Evil Future: Rumored Remakes and Expansions Fuel Fan Debate
March 4, 2026
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.
