The obvious answer might be Resident Evil 5, with the 2009 co-op instalment still one of Capcom’s best-selling games of all time, drawing with Resident Evil 6 at 8.9 million copies sold - putting it just under Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and above Resident Evil Village and the remake of RE3. “What game we will remake in the future is something that we would like to announce in the future, so please look forward to it.” While Anpo was upfront in telling us what we already know - a new remake is coming - the developer refused to be drawn on which game will get the REmake treatment next. “Since it allows a modern audience to play these games, it is something I am happy to do as someone that loves these older games, and we want to continue doing more.”

“We’ve released three remakes so far and they have all been received very well,” Anpo said. The reason will also come as little surprise, with Anpo saying that the positive reception to the Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 remakes - both critically and commercially, with RE2 Remake becoming the best-selling game in the entire franchise as of August with 13.1 million copies sold - was a driving factor, along with bringing the series to new players. Resident Evil 4 Remake director Yasuhiro Anpo gave a definitive answer when asked during a recent PlayStation partner awards event, as first reported by IGN, whether Capcom want to keep (re)making the older Resident Evil titles: “Yes.” As for whether we’ll barrel straight into Resident Evil 5 from this year’s RE4 Remake or jump back to Zero or even, uh, sideways to Code Veronica? They won’t say - yet. Surprise, surprise: Capcom are working on another Resident Evil remake in their successful series of ground-up rebuilds for the survival-horror franchise.
