Code Veronica Fans Are Upset After Learning Resident Evil 4 Remake Is Reportedly Being Developed By Capcom

The new Resident Evil 3 remake came out less than two weeks ago but it seems like Capcom already has its eyes set on the future.

According to VGC.com. Capcom’s insanely popular Resident Evil 4 which came out in 2005 is also going to be getting the remake treatment.

Following its reimaginings of Resident Evil 2 and 3, multiple development sources have told VGC that the Resident Evil 4 remake has now entered full production with an estimated release window in 2022.

Development is being led by Osaka-based M-Two, the new studio founded by former PlatinumGames head Tatsuya Minami, which has been preparing for the project since 2018.

However, similar to how 2020’s Resident Evil 3 was led by company Red Works, Capcom’s internal teams and other external studios are likely to lend support.

It’s understood that the remake has the blessing of original game director Shinji Mikami, who officially declined an approach to lead the project himself but has provided informal advice on its direction.

After the report came out Resident Evil fans seemed pretty disappointed that Capcom is choosing to not remake Code Veronica before RE4.
