Japanese developer Capcom works on remakes of iconic horror and action classics simultaneously. Segundo trusted insiders, Osaka’s company has approved a battery of projects that includes re-releases of the first Devil May Cry, Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica, in addition to the new mainline Resident Evil 10.
Rumores indicate that the decision-making meeting took place in 2022, when Capcom finalized the creative guidelines for these titles. The remake of the first Resident Evil, codenamed Project Fallen, is now in full production. Project Chambers, in turn, refers to the remake of Resident Evil Zero. Capcom’s strategy of revitalizing classic works gains momentum as the company continues to launch new intellectual properties.
Novas generations of horror pillars
Resident Evil 10, codenamed Projeto Redlife, marks the next evolution of the flagship series. Claire Redfield returns as a confirmed character in the new chapter. The technical engineering behind these projects varies depending on the complexity: only Resident Evil Zero Remake and RE10 use the REX Engine, the most advanced engine in the Capcom portfolio for real-time rendering and physics.
The remake of the first Devil May Cry follows a parallel path within the development calendar. Capcom recognizes the cultural relevance of the action franchise following the critical success of Devil May Cry 5, released in 2019.
Expansões and additional content confirmed
- Resident Evil Requiem will receive multiple post-launch expansions
- Ada Wong will play a leading role in at least one of these extensions
- Leon Scott Kennedy will appear in critical narrative scenes
- Novas gameplay mechanics were incorporated into expansions
Resident Evil Requiem, recently launched, already integrates ambitious plans for continued support. One of the expansions places Ada Wong in the protagonist position, filling a narrative gap in the main campaign where she remained absent. Especulações suggest a possible marriage between Ada and Leon within the expanded fiction.
Timeline production and technical tools
Capcom distributes its resources across multiple advanced projects. Remakes often consume fewer development cycles than original sequels because they reuse consolidated narrative structures. Isso unlocks creative capacity for mechanical innovations within already established frameworks.
The choice of which engine to use reflects different technical priorities. The Project Chambers and Projeto Redlife require the robustness of the REX Engine to support complex physics, dynamic lighting and sophisticated artificial intelligence. Remakes and Project Fallen can operate on optimized versions of Capcom RE Engine, maintaining visual fidelity without the need for cutting-edge architecture.
Dados insiders at Capcom point out that remakes have generated consistent revenue over the past five years. Resident Evil 2 Remake (2019) surpassed 8 million copies sold globally. Resident Evil 3 Remake (2020) reached 3.5 million units. The proven profitability justifies the investment in Code Veronica Remake, which has never received an official re-release since its launch on Dreamcast in 2000.
Contexto from the golden age of Capcom
The developer is going through a period of unprecedented creative consistency. Sequências as Monster Hunter World, Street Fighter 6 and Devil May Cry 5 have cemented Capcom’s reputation as a world-class studio. Novas intellectual properties, including Pragmata, expand portfolio beyond traditional franchises.
Remakes function as a strategic complement to this business model. Eles renew interest in classic universes while freeing up creative budget for innovation. Capcom recognizes that contemporary audiences value both reinterpretations of classics and original content.
