Resident Evil 4 remake director Yasuhiro Anpo at a PlayStation partner awards event in Japan attended by IGN confirmed Capcom has more Resident Evil remakes in development.
"Yes," said Anpo when asked if Capcom would make more Resident Evil remakes.
"We’ve released three remakes so far and they have all been received very well. Since it allows a modern audience to play these games, it is something I am happy to do as someone that loves these older games, and we want to continue doing more.
"What game we will remake in the future is something that we would like to announce in the future, so please look forward to it."
Anpo added, "When developing a new game, there is no way to know what will be received well by the players, which makes it difficult. In the case of a remake, there are already players that have played the original, which I think can be seen as an advantage.
"We are very grateful to users that are vocal about their opinion. It allows us to develop with the player’s opinion in mind. For example, if this is how the players feel, then maybe we can make it like this. I think this is one of the reasons why our remakes are so well received."
Capcom in recent years has released remakes of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4. A remake of the original Resident Evil was released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2002.

I think it was a given after that re4 ending that re5 will be coming!
Would be cool if they remake the most requested code Veronica!
Will also be cool if they remakes
Re1 with it's glorious 2002 remake from the ground up again and then maybe combine it with re0,
Revelations 1/2 would also be welcomed!
I'd want a new remake of RE1 more than any other entry, followed by Code Veronica.
"after that re4 ending"
Are you refering to the ending of the base game, or Separate Ways? I haven't played Separate Ways yet. So I'll get to that soon.
If the next one is between 5 or CV, I hope they go for Code Veronica.
Either one has a tease
Wish they pull their finger out and give dino crisis the remake many have been clamouring for
Even though I enjoyed Zero and think it's the worst of the main line games, I do like the characters and think it would be a really good remake into modern edition. Revamp it, add in online co-op control for Billy and Rebecca.
That would be phenomenal
Well I do agree with them that there is demand for more RE remakes.
If they really want a multiplayer game remake the bloody outbreak file1/2 haha
good news if this doesn’t impact other original projects.
love hearing me news on some nice remakes
RE 0 and Code Veronica?
Of course, they'll likely follow Sony's lead and remake 5, 6, 7, and 8.
RE5 and Code Veronica seem like the most likely candidates to get the remake treatment.
Sure don't see why not, but it's probably also worth it to take a look at other Capcom series at some point. DMC could use the treatment.
I'd like them to bring back Breath of Fire 3 & 4.
Remake Code Veronica, and Outbreak 1&2. I think that's all that's left that really needs a remake for me.
