Capcom Not Interested in Resident Evil 5 & 6 Remakes, It’s Claimed
According to claims from known Resident Evil insider Dusk Golem, Capcom currently has no plans to develop remakes of Resident Evil 5 and 6. The insider suggests that Capcom is uncertain about how to approach remaking these particular titles.
This comes amid growing interest in Resident Evil remakes, particularly following the recent announcement of Resident Evil: Veronica. There have also been rumors suggesting that a Resident Evil Zero remake is in development, with speculation that both Veronica and Zero could potentially be connected to a project called Resident Evil Requiem.
While Capcom has demonstrated commitment to remaking classic Resident Evil titles—as evidenced by successful remakes of earlier entries in the series—the company appears reluctant to tackle Resident Evil 5 and 6 at this time. The reasons for this hesitation remain unclear, though it could relate to how these games are perceived by the community or the challenges in modernizing their gameplay and design elements.
The claims come from Dusk Golem, who has established credibility as a Resident Evil insider, though these remain unconfirmed reports rather than official statements from Capcom.
