The Resident Evil community has been vocal about their desire for a complete remake of the original 1996 survival horror classic, similar to the acclaimed RE2 and RE4 remakes. However, industry insider Dusk Golem recently confirmed on Twitter that Capcom isn't currently working on such a project.

This revelation comes amid growing speculation about the franchise's future direction. Since the successful 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2, Capcom has maintained parallel development tracks - continuing the main series while revisiting classic titles through modern remakes.

The Road Ahead for Resident Evil Remakes

While an RE1 remake remains a popular fan request, evidence suggests Capcom's immediate plans focus elsewhere:

1. Resident Evil 0 and Code: Veronica remakes - These titles appear next in Capcom's remake pipeline
2. Resident Evil 9 - The next main series installment, rumored to feature open-world elements
3. Potential announcements - Summer gaming events may reveal Capcom's upcoming projects

The development timeline for these remakes remains uncertain. While RE3's remake followed just one year after RE2, its shorter length suggests it may have been developed concurrently. More ambitious projects like Code: Veronica could require significantly more development time.

Why RE1 Remake Makes Sense (Eventually)

Despite the current absence of an RE1 remake in development, several factors suggest Capcom will eventually revisit the original:

• Historical significance: As the franchise's origin point, it holds special importance for fans
• Technological potential: Modern graphics could dramatically enhance the Spencer Mansion's atmosphere
• Commercial viability: Previous remakes have proven financially successful

For now, Resident Evil enthusiasts will need to wait patiently while Capcom focuses on other projects in the iconic survival horror series.
