# Capcom remake program and Resident Evil expansion > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/playstation-store-classic-game-remakes > Updated: 2026-08-23T06:16:50.000Z. Sources: 257. Developments: 43. Capcom’s remake strategy is increasingly centered on a cycle of yearly Resident Evil releases to drive revenue and fund new IP, such as Pragmata. Producer Masachika Kawata noted that this approach provides steady financial resources but may limit capacity for new spin-off projects. Recent successes, including Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Requiem, have been key drivers of this growth. The Resident Evil Code Veronica remake, slated for 2027, is expected to be significantly more difficult than the Resident Evil 2 remake. Leaked details suggest a focus on tighter resource management—including scarcer ammunition and fewer healing items—alongside a redesigned, interconnected semi-open environment to heighten tension. Rumored voice cast members for the title include Stephanie Panisello, Jeff Schine, Craig Burnatowski, Matthew Castle, and Hallea Jones. The broader roadmap remains active with a Resident Evil Zero remake being restarted for 2027, pre-production on Resident Evil 1, and ongoing work on Devil May Cry and a rumored Dino Crisis remake. Beyond gaming, the franchise is expanding into other media. Titan Comics will release a manga adaptation, ‘Resident Evil: Death Island – Volume 1’, on September 29, 2026. Additionally, a new Resident Evil film directed by Zach Cregger is in development, though early footage has led to speculation regarding potential deviations from established game lore. ## Claims - Capcom wants Resident Evil to become an annual franchise.
