Recently, rumors have emerged about remasters of classic titles from the Resident Evil saga, such as Resident Evil 1, 7, Zero, and 5, which has surprised fans of the survival horror series. Although Capcom has not yet made an official announcement, the rumors suggest that the company might be preparing to capitalize on the growing popularity of the franchise, which has been revived since its debut in 1996.
Among the most notable rumors are those of Resident Evil 9 and several additional remakes of iconic titles. However, it is important to approach this information with caution, as these are speculations that need to be verified with official confirmations. What seems to have more solid backing are the reports about the new remasters, which have been rated by the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) in the U.S.
Reports suggest that Resident Evil 7, along with the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3, will undergo significant updates, while the remake of the original Resident Evil—originally released in 2002 for the Nintendo GameCube—had not received enhancements for the new generation consoles until now. It is expected that if a native version for the current generation is released, it will be part of a collection that includes Resident Evil Zero and additional content.
The Resident Evil We Didn’t Expect and Didn’t Necessarily Want
It is noteworthy to mention that Resident Evil 6 could also be part of these remasters, despite not being a game very loved by fans. Ultimately, although ESRB ratings often indicate upcoming releases, only time will tell when these versions of the revered series will materialize. The gaming community is eagerly anticipating.
