Capcom’s Next Big Resident Evil Remake Reportedly Set to Be Revealed This Year
Capcom is gearing up to reveal its next major Resident Evil remake sometime in 2026, according to recent industry reports — a move that could continue the franchise’s recent pattern of reimagining classic survival-horror titles. The news follows a strong run of remakes from the developer and publisher that includes Resident Evil 2 (2019) and Resident Evil 4 (2023).
What We Know So Far
According to Video Games Chronicle, Capcom is expected to officially announce its next Resident Evil remake later this year — though an exact date has not yet been confirmed. This report suggests that Capcom may be preparing to expand its slate of high-profile remakes beyond its current lineup.
No, there is NOT a Resident Evil 5 Remake that’s going to be announced this year. Instead, later this year a RE Remake that starts with “(C)” & ends “(ode Veronica)” is going to be announced, I promise you.

The company’s history of successful remakes of older titles has fueled fan interest in future projects, including potential overhauls of Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica, both of which have appeared in recent leaked reports and insider discussions as likely candidates for remake treatment.
Timing & Expectations
Resident Evil Requiem (also known as Resident Evil 9) is set to launch in February 2026, marking a major milestone for the franchise in its 30th anniversary year — and Capcom may be strategically planning other reveals around or after this big release.
Rumors suggest multiple release and announcement windows, with some insiders pointing to major gaming events such as Summer Game Fest or The Game Awards as possible reveal stages for the next remake announcement. Historically, Capcom has debuted major Resident Evil titles at these kinds of showcases, offering context for fans’ expectations.
Titles Fans Want to See
Beyond the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem, longtime fans have shown strong interest in remakes of other classic entries that have yet to receive modern overhauls. Among the most talked-about are:
-
Resident Evil 0 — frequently cited in leaks and insider reports.
-
Resident Evil: Code Veronica — another top request among the community, with rumors suggesting a reveal could be imminent.
While Capcom has not confirmed any specific title yet, the attention surrounding these prospects suggests a busy year ahead for the franchise.
What This Means for Fans
If Capcom follows through on these plans, 2026 could become one of the biggest years yet for Resident Evil fans — not only with the launch of Requiem but also with the reveal of a new remake that taps into nostalgia for classic survival horror while modernizing gameplay and presentation.
As always with pre-announcement reports, details may change, but expectations are high given the franchise’s legacy and Capcom’s track record of delivering critically acclaimed remakes and new entries alike.
