Resident Evil 5 and 6 Remakes Might Be Happening After Capcom's Biggest Hint Yet

Resident Evil 5 and 6 remakes might be happening, and Capcom just dropped the biggest hint we have ever gotten. In the Resident Evil 30th anniversary book, the series' executive producer said that Resident Evil is being built on two tracks, and that Capcom is already thinking about what happens when those tracks meet.

Capcom's executive producer says the remake series will catch up with the numbered games

According to the anniversary book, the plan splits into the numbered games, which tell the present story, and the remakes, which tell the past. His exact quote was: "Someday the remake series will catch up with the era of the numbered titles and we are already thinking about what we will do when that happens."

Just think about it. Resident Evil Code: Veronica is releasing in 2027, and a Resident Evil Zero remake is reportedly in development for 2028. After those two, the only games left before Resident Evil 7 are 5 and 6. Here is the part that stands out to me: the same executive producer was the producer on the original Resident Evil 5.

Umbrella, Spencer and Raccoon City are reportedly setting up a crossover

On top of that, he said Umbrella, Spencer, The Return of Raccoon City and Requiem are all setting up a "crossover event" that Capcom has been planning since Resident Evil 7. The fact that Capcom is planning a big crossover for all of these worlds to collide is really exciting.

Dusk Golem says no RE5 or RE6 remake for at least five years

When it comes to timing, Dusk Golem said that a Resident Evil 5 remake will eventually happen, but that none of the projects Capcom green lit a few months ago were Resident Evil 5 or 6. His exact quote was: "I promise you that there's not going to be an RE5 or RE6 remake releasing in the next 5 years at least."

Which game do you think deserves a remake more: Resident Evil 5 or Resident Evil 6?
