Capcom has officially announced a remake of Resident Evil 2 by releasing a video of the announcement in which you can see above this post.
The remake is being produced by Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, the producer behind this year’s Resident Evil HD Remake.
“You’ve been telling us for years that you want Resident Evil 2 to be remade, and we haven’t been able to make it happen…until now!” Hirabayashi said in the video. “We at R&D Division 1 will do our best to take on your feedback and deliver the gameplay experience you’ve been waiting for.”
/// Official Statement
We’re pleased to confirm that Resident Evil 2 has been approved for development. As the title is only just starting its development cycle we unfortunately don’t have any additional information or assets to share at this time. However, for now we want our fans to know that we appreciate all the feedback and support we’ve received on this title. We’re looking forward to delivering this highly anticipated Resident Evil experience that fans have been waiting for.
No specific release window or platforms were announced, as Hirabayashi added: “It will be some time before we can bring you an update on this project.”
