Is Capcom Getting Ready to Reveal the ‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake?
In what perhaps might finally be something on that long-awaited Resident Evil 2 remake, Capcom have made a few conspicuous changes to their Twitter accounts.
For starters, about a week ago, Capcom updated their officialBiohazard Twitter account to include a black space in their header image next to Resident Evil VII, Resident Evil: Revelations and Revelations 2. At first appearance, it might just be Capcom wanting to not obscure the images with the circular Twitter profile picture.
However, over on the Western Resident Evil Twitter account, things get interesting. Capcom have updated their profile picture with a new logo. At first glance, it’s just the Resident Evil 7 logo (which was originally orange and white) that’s been recoloured red. However, if you go back to the Resident Evil 2 Remake announcement, you’ll see that the logo on the screen behind producer Yoshiaki Hirabyashi is the same logo being used as the Twitter profile picture. Some fans even went so far as to analyze the screen image with this profile picture.
Want to know something else? Resident Evil 2‘s 20th anniversary is on the 21st of January.
If this isn’t pointing to something we’ve been waiting for since 2015…
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply saddened to learn that George A. Romero Foundation Founder and President Suzanne Desrocher-Romero has passed away.
GARF shared in a statement on socials, “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Suzanne Desrocher Romero. Suzanne passed away of natural causes on June 24 at her home in Toronto after a prolonged illness.”
The statement continues, “Suzanne was the fierce leader of the George A. Romero Estate and The George A. Romero Foundation. She worked tirelessly to preserve George’s legacy. Her work at the foundation will continue to inspire and live on for generations to come. The family asks for privacy at this time.”
Desrocher-Romero founded GARF in 2018, after her late husband’s passing in 2017, and has been a fierce advocate for his legacy and the arts. It was her mission to “strengthen horror as a serious field of global study,” and she was a tremendous fighter on behalf of Romero’s works and supporting new filmmakers inspired by his legacy.
It was Desrocher-Romero who spearheaded the recovery and restoration of The Amusement Park, and, as the person in charge of the George A. Romero estate, worked closely with author Daniel Kraus on completing unfinished novels like Pay the Piper and The Living Dead. She most recently celebrated the restoration of her favorite of Romero’s zombie films, Day of the Dead, and was hard at work producing the upcoming film Twilight of the Dead.
That passionate advocacy led to Suzanne Desrocher-Romero becoming family to Bloody Disgusting as well.
2023 marked the start of an ongoing partnership between Bloody FM and GARF on The Dead, a scripted audio series spanning multiple seasons that saw Desrocher-Romero working closely with the Bloody FM team and mentoring the series’s contributing writers with GARF. To say her loss will be felt internally is an understatement.
“Anytime George Romero is mentioned is good, because what we are doing is to provide a healthy legacy. We’re uplifting his legacy, we’re supporting the archive, and we’re also supporting the Horror Study Center. So, all of these three things are what the Foundation is striving to do. As far as I’m concerned, the more we say George Romero’s name, the better it is,” Desrocher-Romero recently told BD.
It’s the perfect encapsulation of her unwavering enthusiasm for supporting Romero’s legacy and the horror genre, and just a glimpse at how much she contributed to preserving it. She is, in short, an inspiration.
We send our deepest condolences to Suzanne Desrocher-Romero’s family, friends, and GARF.
