Several outlets report that Capcom is working on a remake of the original Resident Evil, citing an unnamed tipster or insider. The claim is that pre-production began “nearly a year ago,” with Vice describing it as “almost a year” in pre-production so far. The reports also note that Capcom has not officially announced a Resident Evil 1 remake.
At the same time, the articles place the rumor alongside Capcom’s recent confirmation of another project in the franchise. Both sources reference Capcom’s last-month confirmation of a remake of Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, with the project described as dropping the “Code” from its title. That confirmation is presented as the only official development update among the items discussed.
Overall, the information available centers on reported timing and the lack of an official announcement. Specific details about development staff, platforms, release window, or gameplay changes are not provided in the cited reports.
