Rumor: Resident Evil 4 Remake may happen in 2022; RE 8 next year

Take this news with a grain of salt for now, but with the recent release of Resident Evil 3 Remake and the popularity and success of its predecessors Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 7, it isn’t a big surprise that Capcom is setting its sights on the next installment or project/s in the RE Universe for fans to looks forward to. Thanks to numerous buzz and headlines happening around the interwebz, it looks more likely that a Resident Evil 4 Remake will happen - along with the other possibility that it will be released a year after the true new sequel in “Resident Evil 8”.

According to Video Game Chronicles, the new reimagining of Resident Evil 4 is targeted for 2022, and will be handled by Osaka based video game developer M-Two - who have worked on this year’s RE3 Remake. The project is said to be directed by a newcomer, and has legendary RE/ Biohazard series head Shinji Mikami’s input and blessing. Other than those details and help from Capcom’s internal and external sources, not much is revealed yet. This is a big thing for fans of the original RE4, which was released 15 years ago as a then “exclusive” for the Nintendo Gamecube before inevitably being ported to the Playstation 2 and getting subsequent rereleases and HD remasters for other platforms and consoles.

On the other side of the rumor spectrum, the article also mentions that Resident Evil 8 is targeted for 2021 - marking the third consecutive release of a Resident Evil game since the Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake came out in 2019 and this year respectively. RE 8 is reportedly a direct sequel to RE 7, and will once again feature Ethan Winters returning along with some new game mechanics.

While all of this is still considered speculation and rumor, VGC is supposedly reliable with their scoops. Aside from RE4, fans have also asked for a “Resident Evil: Code Veronica” remake - which is another strong contender/ possibility as that game was the “true sequel” to Resident Evil 2 and released for the SEGA Dreamcast in 2000. Capcom also recently released a survey to Resident Evil fans asking what they would want for “future RE releases”, so it’s a no brainer that there will be something teased or announced pretty soon.
