Capcom Is Running Out of Resident Evil Games to Remake, and That Is When Things Get Weird
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Capcom is preparing for a mysterious crossover event when its ongoing Resident Evil remake timeline finally catches up with the modern numbered titles.
Capcom has built a massive engine of nostalgia over the last decade, turning out stellar modern reimaginings of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 while keeping fans fed between mainline releases. With a Code Veronica remake slated for 2027 and rumors pointing to Resident Evil 0 following closely behind in 2028, the publisher is rapidly approaching the end of the classic catalog. Once those legacy titles are modernized, Capcom will hit the era of Resident Evil 7, which established the RE Engine used for all these recent projects, leaving many to wonder what the studio plans to do next.
According to an anniversary book interview spotted by IGN, executive producer Jun Takeuchi revealed that the team is planning for a mysterious crossover event when the remake timeline finally intersects with the modern numbered entries. Capcom has been quietly laying the groundwork for this convergence since Resident Evil Village, dropping familiar names like Umbrella and Spencer alongside callbacks to Raccoon City to gauge community reaction. What started as simple fan service has evolved into something much larger, fueled by how intensely players analyze every narrative hint dropped by the development team.
While the exact shape of this upcoming crossover remains under wraps, the prospect of the classic and modern timelines colliding opens the door for some serious meta-narrative experimentation. Modern blockbuster developers are increasingly leaning into remakes to offset soaring production costs, but Capcom seems ready to turn that nostalgic safety net into something entirely unpredictable. As the publisher prepares to bridge thirty years of survival horror history, players should expect the unexpected when the past and present finally crash together.
Meanwhile, fans of Dino Crisis are still waiting in the wings, hoping that Capcom might eventually dig into other corners of its classic vault. For now, the focus remains firmly on how Resident Evil plans to rewrite its own history. Time might be a flat circle in Raccoon City, but the community is more than ready to see how Capcom twists the timeline next.
