The fan made Resident Evil 2 remake is no longer in development, since Capcom has announced that it will be remaking the game itself.
"After the official announcement of the Resident Evil 2 remake by Capcom, we officialise the end of the works on Resident Evil 2 Reborn," said the InvaderGames team on Facebook.
"Contrary to what might be thought, this is wonderful news for us and, as fans, we're so happy that Capcom has decided to take the lead of the project and to develop the remake awaited for years by everybody (nobody could bring back to life the masterpiece of 1998 better than the creators themselves).
Meanwhile as developers, we're honoured to announce that we've been officially invited to meet Capcom.
Capcom called us up in advance of the announcement and asked us if we would mind stopping the project as they had longer term plans for a Resident Evil 2 Remake. They have invited us to a meeting to discuss further ideas.
Even though we cannot complete the project of Resident Evil 2 Reborn, we're happy that what we've shown has achieved consents from worldwide fans and especially has been noticed from Capcom itself. We promise that the work done until now will be useful for future projects, we won't disappoint your and our expectations."

I hope Capcom gives the devs of the fan made remake a chance to work on other projects or even better in the official remake.
At least they hopped on ending it before the C&D that would have obviously happened. It's neat that Capcom is willing to meet and it seems like even potentially hire them on to work on the project though. It's a good approach to this kind of thing.
