Resident Evil 1 Remake Entered Pre-Production Last Year, It’s Claimed
According to insider Dusk Golem, Capcom has begun pre-production on a Resident Evil 1 Remake, with work starting around August or September 2025. This revelation adds to growing speculation about the company’s plans for the iconic horror franchise.
Capcom currently has multiple Resident Evil remakes in development. Resident Evil Code Veronica has been officially confirmed, while reports suggest that remakes of Resident Evil 1 and Resident Evil 0 are also being developed. The RE1 Remake is expected to transition into full production once work on the Code Veronica remake is completed.
The information comes from Dusk Golem, a known gaming insider who shared the details on X (formerly Twitter). If accurate, this timeline indicates that Capcom has been quietly progressing on the remake without official announcement, suggesting the publisher is strategically planning its release schedule around the completion of other major projects.
The original Resident Evil remains one of the most iconic entries in gaming history, having defined the survival horror genre. A remake of this foundational title could be significant for both longtime fans and new audiences, particularly given the critical and commercial success of the RE2 and RE3 remakes that preceded it.
Capcom has not yet officially confirmed details about the RE1 Remake’s development, release date, or target platforms. The company typically keeps such projects under wraps until ready for formal announcements.
