Insider Says Capcom's Original Resident Evil Entered Pre-Production

The report would extend Capcom's remake strategy into a multi-year slate.

Overview

  • A longtime industry insider, Dusk Golem, says a modern remake of the original Resident Evil entered pre-production around August–September 2025.
  • The insider reports the RE1 project is expected to move into full production only after Capcom finishes the officially announced Resident Evil: Veronica remake, which is set for 2027.
  • Capcom has not confirmed any RE1 remake; the company has only officially announced the Code: Veronica remake so far.
  • Reporters expect a modernized design similar to the Resident Evil 2 remake, with an over‑the‑shoulder camera and expanded content, and analysts estimate a release likely no earlier than 2029 if the timeline holds.
  • Dusk Golem has a mixed track record of leaks, so outlets treat the claim as plausible but unconfirmed and fans should expect official word from Capcom before details are finalized.
