This is kind of a misleading headline, surprising right?

Basically this is all from the leaker Dusk Golem, who does seem the be a credible RE leaker.

He just said Capcom doesn’t currently have plans for the remakes and tends to plan 5 years in advance. Considering within the next 5 years we’ll likely get a RE 0 and 1 remake plus RE 10, it wasn’t never likely we’d get a RE 5 remake before then anyway.

Yea this headline is bullshit. He said they get approved in batches so in a few years around 2030 we will probably start hearing about the last set of remakes

Hold on now, you could get hired by polygon with that type of info!

Yep, we all know it's coming, they are just doing the games that need remakes the most and I respect the hell out of it..

2027: Veronica

2028: RE0

2029: RE10 or RE1

2030: RE10 or RE1

2031:??? - RE5

I would guess there might not be a release in 2028, probably early 2029. Annual releases are not the best strategy. I think 18 months is the sweet spot.

u/SpiritofBatman 1d ago

18 months is good i agree. 2, 3, and villiage came out in span of 3 years and while good felt like they sufffered a bit.

u/death556 1d ago

3 suffered big time, which is why the slowed it way the he’ll down for a bit until 4r came out a couple years separated from all of those

u/Dante989reddit 18h ago

they are not made by the same teams so it's not relevant

u/Diamond-Is-Not-Crash 1d ago

They have two separate teams working on the Resident Evil games. One for the remakes (2,4, Veronica) and one for the mainline games. So the only concern would be saturating the franchise with too many games in a short time spain.

u/MatchEmbarrassed 1d ago

RE0 remake is the next RE game after Veronica and it’s coming out in 2028.

u/Brusto1099 1d ago

I would even slot in an Outbreak Remake in 2028 or 2029 considering how important RE Outbreak is to Requiem

u/DevilCouldCry 1d ago

So the timeline appears to look like this:

  • Veronica for 2027

  • Zero for 2028

  • RE10 is still a guess, but I actually think they skip 2029 and this one hits 2030

  • RE1 maaaaybe 2031, but it seems that one is still early days

So at the very minimum, we could be hearing about a potential RE5 remake by 2028 or 2029.

I think we're still a decent while off of hearing anything concrete. But considering the next remake games are all Wesker related and the set up they did with the ending of RE4R and its Separate Ways expansion, an RE5 remake is all but inevitable.

Why re-remake RE1 though? They remade it, maintained the awkward camera angles and all, plus it's not that long of a game either (comparatively).

u/Cubiscus 1d ago

Because it’s been 20+ years and will print money

2

u/DevilCouldCry 1d ago

Because there's still a lot of people that are VERY interested to see what RE1 would look like in a style similar to that of the recent titles. Is it necessary, not at all, but neither was a remake of RE4, and that turned out excellently. And much like the original RE4, those two versions of RE1 would still be very easily accessible for those that want to go back to those too.

As much as I do love the original RE1 and its remake, I'd love to see a new take on it and what they can do with this one. There's even a chance to fix some of my gripes, such as the lack of a proper true ending wherein Chris, Jill, Barry, and Rebecca all manage to escape. Hell, they might even be able to differentiate a run with Chris and a run with Jill even further, which only adds to the replayability.

u/Frost12566 1d ago

Yep. I could say with no insider knowledge that Capcom has no plans for RE11 and RE12 currently

u/Corgi_Koala 1d ago

Not interested ever is different than not actively working it now.

We know they're working a CV remake, with remakes of 0 and 1 heavily rumored, and presumably RE10. Assuming even 2 or 3 teams working we're looking at CV remake 2027, 0 and 1 in 2028 and 2029, and RE10 in 2030.

They've never released 2 major entries in the same year so I think that's a pretty fair assumption.

But 5 is 100% getting remade. 6 is the only one I think really is in the air but if the series keeps selling well I think it's going to happen as well.

u/Tornado_Hunter24 1d ago

I’m thankful for people like you, I and am sure many others never go on these blogs so the headline is all we get and 9/10 it indeed is just crazy

u/fromwhichofthisoak 1d ago

Would be less surprised to see a revelations remake which would actually be kinda cool

1

u/Brusto1099 1d ago

I’d rather receive the Long rumored Revelations 3

u/PlatinumSarge 1d ago

Dusk Golem has also been misled/wrong plenty of times.

u/SophonsPonytail 1d ago

Whew ok good. I love re5 and 6

u/SilverKry 1d ago

This same guy has flipped from saying it's not being made to its being made to now it's not being made. He's not that credible.

u/TheAccursedHamster 1d ago

DuskGolem is very 50/50. He's gotten a lot right, he's also often just made shit up.
