Several weeks ago, the video game publisher and developer Capcom revealed itsintentions to create even more remakesof its properties after the forthcoming multi-platform release of the newResident Evil2. Now, it looks as if the third entry in the long-running survival-horror franchise could eventually see its own updated version come to be in the future, as the company recently talked about the possibility of the original 1999 PlayStation game getting a remake, too.
According toResident Evil2Game Director Kazunori Kadoi and Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, Capcom could be leaving the door open to aResident Evil 3: Nemesisremake once theRE2remake officially hits store shelves. When asked about the prospect of Capcom givingRE3: Nemesisthe remake treatment, Kadoi and Hirabayashi said, “We are currently focused onResident Evil 2remake, getting it out of the door and seeing how everyone receives it in January, but who knows what the future holds.”
While this doesn’t necessarily confirm that aResident Evil 3: Nemesisremake is in the works, it does show that Capcom is keeping an open mind about the third entry being revised and re-released for contemporary players. So far, droves of survival-horror fans have been practically drooling over all of the assets released thus far for theResident Evil 2remake, indicating that there’s definitely a large and willing audience who would be excited to see what Capcom could do withRE3: Nemesisas well.
All things considered, we will simply have to wait and see if Capcom decides to officially announce aResident Evil 3: Nemesisremake project getting green lit. It’s definitely not too far outside the realm of possibility, but a newRE3: Nemesislikely won’t come to pass if theRE2remake doesn’t succeed financially. Nevertheless, with the latter having been namedBest of Show at E3 2018, it definitely stands a fair chance at becoming a blockbuster.
