Leaked Information: Resident Evil 1 Will Get Another Remake in the Near Future

Following the success of Resident Evil Requiem, rumors began circulating that Capcom was planning a full remake of the first game.

Resident Evil 1 might be remade again.

The first game, released in 1996, pioneered the survival horror genre and launched one of the most successful franchises. It was first remade in 2002, offering a fresh approach to the original. Graphics were improved, entirely new gameplay mechanics were added, along with new characters, new storyline elements, and a more chilling atmosphere.

Resident Evil 1 was remade once.

The game was followed by a remake of  Resident Evil 2,  bringing back the over-the-shoulder style similar to  RE4 , then  Resident Evil 3 Remake  , and then a remake of  Resident Evil 4.  Now it seems  Capcom  wants to remake the original story once again. Essentially, the original and the 2002 remake still use a fixed perspective, instead of the over-the-shoulder view of the later remakes. Therefore, it's possible  Capcom  wants consistency across all four games.

Both the original and the remake use a fixed camera angle.

According to the well-known leaker  AestheticGamer , the second remake of  Resident Evil 1  is currently in early development and could take another 4 to 7 years to release. However, this person also suggests that the project could very well be canceled.

Besides creating similarities, this new remake will likely add a first-person perspective. The first-person perspective used in the three most recent games has been praised for providing a more immersive experience, so exploring  Spencer Mansion  from this viewpoint would be very interesting.

Resident Evil 1 Remake might be a few more years away.

Of course, allowing users to flexibly switch between first-person and third-person perspectives would certainly attract more people. With  Resident Evil 1 Remake  still several years away from release, AestheticGamer reports that there are other projects planned for earlier release. A notable example is a remastered version, possibly in 2027. A remake of  Resident Evil 0  is also rumored to be released in 2028, along with  Resident Evil 10,  which is planned for release in 2029. 

It also seems to be in the planning stages for a remake.

Currently, these plans are subject to change and delays, but  Capcom  is usually quite strict with its game release schedules, especially with the  Resident Evil franchise.  2031 is considered a suitable timeframe for the release  of RE1 Remake,  as it marks the 35th anniversary of the franchise's launch. Nothing beats returning to where it all began.
