Resident Evil fans have been enjoying a steady stream of top-notch remakes for years.
Capcom has already given Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 fresh remakes that struck gold with fans and critics alike.
Naturally, the conversation shifted toward what comes next. Many assumed that Resident Evil 5, originally released in 2009, would be the logical continuation.
After all, it’s one of the franchise’s biggest sellers, even if it divided fans with its heavy emphasis on action and co-op gameplay.
Is Capcom Developing a Resident Evil 5 Remake Right Now?
According to insider Dusk Golem (AestheticGamer), Capcom does not currently have a Resident Evil 5 remake in production.
He made it clear several times that Capcom isn’t developing the project at the moment.
However, he noted that a remake might still happen if fan interest remains high and the conditions are right.
In other words, it’s not impossible—it just isn’t happening yet.
Which Resident Evil Games Are Being Remade Instead?
Capcom seems to be focusing on other parts of the franchise, with both Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Resident Evil 0 reportedly in active production, and Code Veronica progressing well.
In fact, reports suggest it’s being treated with the same level of care and ambition that made the Resident Evil 2 and 4 remakes so successful.
Many of the same developers from those projects are involved, and progress is reportedly so strong that the game may even be ahead of schedule.
That’s an important moment for Code Veronica fans, since the game has long been treated as a side entry despite its weight in the story.
Why Is Resident Evil 5 a Complicated Candidate for a Remake?
When it comes to Resident Evil 5, things get a bit trickier since the game was built around co-op and faster combat, unlike the earlier entries.
Modernizing it means rethinking not just the look but also the balance between action and survival horror.
That kind of challenge may explain why Capcom is holding off for now, focusing instead on games that fit more naturally into the formula that has defined their recent remakes.
What Can Fans Do If They Want a Remake?
Capcom has made it clear that RE5 depends on fans proving there’s enough interest.
Fans can show their interest through ongoing social media activity, active participation at events, and backing re-releases or ports.
The stronger and steadier the demand gets, the higher the chance Capcom will take another look.
For now, players will have to look forward to Resident Evil Requiem (Resident Evil 9), which is set to release in February 2026, along with the potential return of Code Veronica and RE0.
The future of Resident Evil 5 remains uncertain, resting squarely on whether the community wants it back.
