A video game saga Resident Evil is experiencing its golden age with new releases like 7 a Village and to remakes of some of the most notable ones from the past, especially 2 and 4. As expected, seeing a good response on all levels, including good sales, one can expect Capcom to continue on the same path to continue squeezing the goose that lays the golden eggs .

According to a post that appeared on the subreddit Game leaks and rumorsleaker DanielRPK has shown via his Patreon that Capcom will be working new remake from the first installment Resident Evil. Looking at the precedents, it’s clear that the Japanese developer will once again bet on the RE Engine, so it’s more a question of whether they’ll incorporate more things versus remake released for GameCube in 2002 and came to other platforms including PC a few years later.

DanielRPK has not released any further details regarding the alleged future remake from the first installment Resident Evil, except that the game would be released in 2026 to celebrate the saga’s thirtieth anniversary. When we see it, it makes a lot of sense The original part was released in 1996 for the first PlayStationwhich adds to the symbolic nature of the thirty years and the fact that intellectual property is still very popular after a long time.

In addition to the new assumption remake From the first Resident EvilDanielRPK showed additional information that would be the ninth part of the saga, in which, according to this person, 48-year-old Leon Kennedy would play. The game would take place in the summer of 2025 (we assume the summer of the Northern Hemisphere), which is supposed to be the year of the release of the game itself.

Commencement AND remake detailed three-dimensional Resident Evil made with the RE Engine for 2026 makes a lot of sense as a commemoration of thirty years of the saga. Moreover, Capcom already has the technology and knowledge to carry out such a task, so it is enough to start early and not rush the development, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the game. remake of Resident Evil 3. We remember that both the original version and the first remake for GameCube Resident Evil They used pre-rendered graphics so both games are 2.5D.

Talk about Resident Evil 9, is still shrouded in mystery and there have even been rumors that it will be an open-world video game, an idea that sounds crazy given the franchise’s lore, but which may be true and Capcom manages to surprise the public with. If the open world rumor comes true, I think it’s mainly an attempt to join a trend that some players are getting fed up with.
