Capcom has been busy making the Resident Evil 2 Remake, but now it’s here, could a remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis also be on the cards?

There is no doubt fans of the Resident Evil franchise were ready for a remake of the horror survival game.

But it seems like the demand for horror survival games could lead to a remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis as well.

Ever since it was confirmed that Resident Evil 2 was being remade by Capcom, there have obviously been rumours circulating that Capcom would also release Resident Evil 3 once the dust has settled.

The Resident Evil Twitter account shared an image of the Nemesis from the game, which resulted in fans speculating this might be a tease for an upcoming game. Although this is obviously mere speculation.

However, now fans are almost certain Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is in the cards after a recent interview with Resident Evil 2 Remake producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi which all but confirmed the game will be made at some stage in the future.

Resident Evil 2 Remake producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi recently explained in an interview with GameWatch why they decided to remake the 1998 game.

In the interview Hirabayashi commented Resident Evil 2 was remade only because fans kept telling Capcom they wanted a remake.

He was asked if there was a possibility of making Resident Evil 3 again, because the second and third instalments of the game were supplementary titles released a year apart from each other.

They take place in the same city, using many of the same elements, so it would make sense to reuse a lot of the work thats been put into the Resident Evil 2 Remake to also release an up to date version of Nemesis.

Hirabayashi said they couldn’t possibly make Resident Evil 3 without the fans’ permission.

This meant that if fans really enjoyed the latest remake, and voice those opinions, it’s a good indicator.

In other words – if you want a remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, shout up and get your voices heard!

A remake of Resident Evil 3 Nemesis would likely see the game recreated in Capcom's new RE Engine that has proved so impressive with Resident Evil 7 and most recently with the remake of Resident Evil 2.

The original Nemesis game was developed by Capcom and released in 1999 for the PlayStation. It's a bit of a cult hit. Not as popular of Resi 2 for obvious reasons, but beloved by fans. Especially for the Nemesis character who is hunting members of the Racoon City S.T.A.R.S police team.

As we've alluded to, it would make sense to release another remake of Nemesis, not just because it's so uniquely twinned to Resi 2, with the story taking place mere hours before and after the adventures of Leon and Claire.

But also, as we mention, a lot of the Racoon City locations, such as the police station, have already been created.

For those who don't remember, the storyline follows Jill Valentine (from the original Resident Evil game) in her bid to escape from the city whilst also being chased down by the Nemesis tyrant.
