*Update: Capcom finally revealed the progress of Resident Evil 2 Remake during E3 2018. Check out the latest on the remake here.

The original Resident Evil has seen multiple iterations within its lifetime. The game launched in different versions (Director’s Cut version, DualShock version), has been remade back in 2002 and remastered in 2015. This treatment on the original title left fans of Resident Evil 2, bombarding Capcom with their longing for a remake of the sequel. Imagine playing as Leon or Claire roaming the zombie-infested Raccoon City with modern graphics built from the ground up. I mean, any Resident Evil fan would pay good money to see that.

When Capcom announced its plan to remake Resident Evil 2 back in August 2015, fans of the game leaped with joy and waited patiently for more details from the developer. However, almost three years after the initial announcement, Capcom remained silent on the development of the remake, which led some fans to think whether the developer is having a hard time determining the direction of the game, or worse, that Capcom canceled the project altogether. As a Resident Evil fan myself, I still have some faith in Capcom and believe that the latter scenario is out of the question. Of course, Capcom’s credibility and reputation will be put into question if they decide to abandon an announced game that fans are already eagerly anticipating. Not to mention the loss of profit that the game may generate if Capcom plays their cards right.
