Following the launch and overwhelming success of Resident Evil: Requiem, it was revealed that Capcom may be planning to launch a remake of Resident Evil 1 after it releases a Resident Evil Code Veronica remake sometime in 2027. This has obviously led to fans asking questions about what other potential Resident Evil games might receive the modernization treatment. According to notable Resident Evil leaker, Dusk Golem on the ResetEra forums , Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 remakes are not on the cards.

The leak comes in response to another rumor that claims Capcom will remake the entire Resident Evil franchise, eventually culminating in the current status quo as of Resident Evil Requiem—and seemingly retconning certain aspects of the franchise in the process—as part of some overarching plan. According to Dusk Golem, this is not the case, and Capcom currently has no plans to remake Resident Evil 5 and 6, although the leaker does not rule out the possibility of eventual remakes for the games if Capcom decides to one day acknowledge fan demand for those remakes, with an eventual remake all the more likely if Resident Evil 1 and Code Veronica perform well commercially. It bears pointing out that Resident Evil 4, the most recent RE remake , originally launched in 2005, while Resident Evil 5 and 6 launched in 2009 and 2012, respectively, so it makes sense that they wouldn't necessarily be high on the list of priorities for Capcom to remake just yet.
