Capcom Possibly Looking at Other Franchises to Remake?
Call it a “well, DUH!” moment by Capcom.
Given the response to the announcement (and worst-kept secret) of the Resident Evil 2 remake at this past year’s E3, and the company’s latest financial report, Capcom has started to give thought to other remakes and/or re-releases.
In response to an investor question about Resident Evil 2‘s expected sales and the potential for other remakes, Capcom said it anticipates Resident Evil 2 to be one of its major releases for this fiscal year, and for it to be in the “million-seller” range. “Further, regarding remakes and re-releases of titles in our back catalog, we expect to explore these further with a variety of properties as a part of our strategy to utilize our library of IP.”
When it came to the remake’s cost and its profits, Capcom responded saying that “we have made the most of our cutting-edge game development environment to re-create the content” and that they are “developing it with a budget appropriate for a Resident Evil title targeting the global market.”
Now of course this begs the obvious question of what Capcom plans to do, given its historical catalogue. Do we get a remake of Ghouls ‘N Ghosts? How about finally giving Dino Crisis fans some love? I mean, Jurassic Park has essentially reignited fans’ interest in dinosaurs, so that seems like a no-brainer. Hell, give us a new Darkstalkers game! On second thought, given that Darkstalkers Resurrection tanked, that might be a problem convincing investors.
Okay, what are your picks, folks?
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
