Capcom says no near‑term remakes for Resident Evil 5 and 6

Leaker Dusk Golem, known for reliably reporting on Capcom, said the company has no strong internal desire to remake Resident Evil 5 or Resident Evil 6 at present. development teams are focusing on other projects, notably the upcoming Resident Evil Veronica remake scheduled for 2027, and there is more interest in revisiting the Resident Evil Revelations series.

While both Resident Evil 5 and 6 have sold over 10‑15 million copies each, the studio’s current priorities do not include remaking these titles. A future remake could still occur if fan demand becomes significant, but for now the internal push remains low.

The comments were made in response to circulating rumors that Capcom planned to modernise the entire main series using its RE Engine, a speculation the leaker dismissed as unfounded.
