‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake Due “Soon”
Among the great questions of our time, one of the most confounding is just when exactly is Capcom going to get around to that remake of Resident Evil 2. I’m not the only one who’s been getting antsy about the remake to one of the best-selling Resident Evil titles in the series’ history, especially since Capcom has been busy porting over HD remasters of other RE titles for a while now.
Well, there’s some good (albeit small) news regarding just when we’d see the game. In an interview with Collider, in response to being asked to tease any upcoming projects, producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi stated, “The only thing I can tell you is about something that’s already out in the public. Resident Evil 2, a remade version, the game, will be out from Capcom soon.”
Obviously, “soon” can mean a lot of things. The project itself began in 2015, to give you an idea. Also, Resident Evil 2 turns 20 next year, so maybe we’ll see a tease this year, and the release next year? Time to play the speculation game.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
