Meanwhile, it is without a doubt that remakes ofResident Evilgames have been Capcom’s bread and butter for a couple of years now. In January 2019, Capcom released the highly-anticipated remake ofResident Evil 2, which was well-received by both fans and critics, and in a week from now,the long-awaitedResident Evil 3remakewill hit shelves worldwide.
Given the resurgence of these classicResident Evilgames which were initially launched in the late ’90s, many are wondering what Capcom plans to do withits long list of dormant franchises. In a 2019 investors report, Capcom announced that it plans to “awaken dormant intellectual properties” in conjunction with developing new brands. As of the moment, it is currently unclear which dormant franchise will be the first to be revitalized but it is likely that more details regarding this will emerge onceResident Evil 3is released.
