The next remake in the Resident Evil series will be the highly-popular Resident Evil 4, according to Video Games Chronicle. Multiple development sources have reportedly confirmed to the website that the game is now in full production, and has an estimated release window of 2022.
Apparently, development on the game is being handled by Tatsuya Minami's M-Two Inc, which previously served as a support studio on the Resident Evil 3 remake. However, like that game, which was handled primarily by developer Red Works, additional internal and external studios are expected to provide support as well.
For now, it's reportedly unclear whether previous members of the Resident Evil 4 team at Capcom are involved with the remake project, although its original director - Shinji Mikami - was allegedly approached to co-found the development studio at M-Two, but turned it down due to commitments surrounding Bethesda's upcoming GhostWire: Tokyo. According to one source, the remake of Resident Evil 4 is being directed by a newcomer to the series.
Just recently, we polled the Pure Xbox community on which Resident Evil game they'd like to see remade next, and while Resident Evil 4 didn't come out top, it certainly did pretty well. So, how do you feel about this news? Are you excited, or were you hoping to see something different? Let us know in the comments.

Why not Code: Veronica? Ugh! And this remake thing is getting bit out of control.
Code Veronica first, Capcom!
This is beyond moronic. Get Code: Veronica out and then, if they are so inclined to remake everything, get to work on RE4. š£
Let's remake a game that doesn't need a remake whatsoever!
Code Veronica is the only remaining RE game that needs the remake treatment, and to be honest, as much as I want to see it happen, 2022 would be soon. It took 17 years between the remake of 1 and the second. Now they're coming fast and furious. Capcom needs to slow it down a bit. The best course of action would be RE 8 for next year or 2022, Revelations 3 (those games are fun side stories that do a good job weaving into the overall plot) in 2023 or 2024 and then a Code Veronica remake a few years after that. And RE 3 remake really should've been a DLC expansion for 2.
I hope they fix the Spanish in the game to be more european spanish.In the Gamecube version they sounded more like latin americans .
I played this game as recently as last year. Aside from cartoony graphics, it still holds up really well. This and 5 imo, are the games least in need of a remake.
But Leon is pretty hunky, and if they change enough of the story and levels to make it feel different enough, sure, why not?
@GhostXSlime Unfortunately in all versions they sound like people from South America even though the game takes place in Spain and the Ganados should be Spaniards. Apparently, the game takes place somewhere around the capital city because the map in the beginning of the game shows that area and also Luis Sera is a cop from Madrid according to his own words.
I am playing all the main Resident Evil games again and, seriously, Code Veronica X is the one that needs a remake. 4 is fine except for the camera that is kind of fixed. Code Veronica has very primitive cut scenes that remind me of the Toy Story documentaries that show the provisional graphics before the final rendering. Also, it has tank controls only and the map is too basic. Oh, and the script is so bad! Must be like the original Resident Evil script but the first time I played Resident Evil was on GameCube so I didn't know about this bad writing and voice acting until later.
The ātank controlā games are in much better need of a remake than RE4. They really should do Code Veronica, RE1 and RE0 before moving on to RE4.
@JoakimZ Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil Remake have also modern controls in the remastered version.
@BlueOcean Yes, but complete remakes with over-the-shoulder view would be amazing.
@JoakimZ I wouldn't say no, Resident Evil Remake is my favourite.
