Capcom Might Be Teasing A Resident Evil 3 Remake

A recent tweet by Capcom might be teasing a remake of Resident Evil’s PlayStation 1 era with more of a bang.

Resident Evil 3 thus finds fan-favorite Jill Valentine stranded in Raccoon City as it falls apart due to the zombie outbreak. She also finds herself targeted by the Nemesis - a super-powered, Resident Evil 3 itself wasn't as highly regarded as the first two entries.

After years of fan requests, Capcom has finally unveiled their remake of Resident Evil 2, which is arguably the best title in the franchise. The game has been given a top to bottom overhaul, and fans are already hoping Resident Evil 3: Nemesis might get a similar makeover. Now a tweet on Resident Evil’s official Twitter profile has re-ignited those calls, with Capcom taking a picture of Nemesis on Friday the 13th.

Obviously, that’s not much to go on and is likely just what it appears to be, but it could also be Capcom internally testing the waters to see how fans respond. The Resident Evil 2 remake will be released in January 2019, but there appears to be no solid plans for the game series beyond that.

Given the fan love for Resident Evil 3, it wouldn’t be a huge shock if the publisher decided to dive straight into a Resident Evil: The Final Chapter in 2017, and while a movie reboot was teased, it seems a TV series might be in the cards instead. No plot details have been revealed yet, but a show would certainly be a fresh angle for the franchise to explore.
