The RE2 Remake Is Making An Impact and It’s Not Even Out Yet
A recent Capcom Q&A revealed that due to the positive reception of the upcoming Resident Evil 2 remake and their sales expectations for it, the company is considering developing more remakes and re-releases.
Capcom said that when it came to remakes and re-releases of titles in their “back catalog”, they “expect to explore these further with a variety of properties as a part of our strategy to utilize our library of IP.”
Some Resident Evil fans have speculated that if the RE2 remake is a success then the 1999 survival horror classic Resident Evil 3 could get remade as well.
Notably, Capcom also stated that the anticipated remake and Devil May Cry 5 are both impacting the sales of previous entries in their series.
“We are beginning to see signs of customers purchasing previous titles in these series, including DmC: Devil May Cry,” Capcom said. “We plan to execute a number of marketing strategies to stimulate sales of these catalog titles in order to further build out the fan base of each series in the future.”
