The rumoured Resident Evil 1 Remake reportedly entered pre-production last year
A rumored remake of the original Resident Evil game has reportedly entered pre-production, according to insider Dusk Golem, a noted leaker known for horror game and Resident Evil information. The project started early production approximately a year ago and is expected to transition to full production once development concludes on Resident Evil Veronica.
Resident Evil Veronica, announced in June, is a separate remake of Resident Evil - Code: Veronica and is scheduled for release sometime in 2027. Based on Capcom’s typical development schedule, the staggered approach suggests the publisher intends to space out these major remake projects to avoid overlapping production cycles.
The information comes directly from Dusk Golem’s social media account and represents the latest update on what has long been a subject of industry speculation. While not officially confirmed by Capcom, the insider has historically provided accurate information regarding Resident Evil projects and development timelines.
If accurate, this would represent another entry in Capcom’s strategy of remaking classic entries in its flagship horror franchise, following the critical and commercial success of recent remake projects.
