The biggest news this week is obviously the leak of Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. And with it being so close to when the 2019 edition of The Game Awards broadcasts on December 13th, one could jump to the conclusion that the game will be making an appearance.
However, according to Game Awards host and producer Geoff Keighley, that’s not the case. In a Reddit AMA, Keighley explicitly said that Resident Evil 3 will not be making an appearance during the show. “There are no plans (never were) to do anything with Resident Evil 3 at the show. A lot of these ‘leaks’ are completely wrong,” Keighley stated. “Nothing about our show has leaked as of this writing.”
While the remake might not make an appearance during the show, there are other potential events where RE3 could make itself known, such as Sony’s upcoming State of Play on December 10, or at Jump Festa 2020 in Japan on December 21-22. The latter of which Capcom has announced that they would be revealing two new games.
Or, Keighley could always just be telling a half-truth with the matter, and that plans “could change”. We’ll find out next week, regardless.
