‘Resident Evil Gaiden’ Fan Remake Announced, Will Use Classic ‘Resident Evil 2’ Engine [Trailer]
While Resident Evil Gaiden isn’t canon (and is barely acknowledged for that reason), that’s not stopping a group of fans from remaking the game in classic Resident Evil 2. Per DSOGaming, modders Andrew Coyte and 3lric have announced the project, codenamed “Starlight”, in the form of a new teaser trailer.
The team has begun making and reusing assets for the remake of the action-adventure game, which doesn’t have a release date as of yet. The remake appears to utilize the classic camera viewpoints and tank controls, as well.
In case you’re unfamiliar with Resident Evil Gaiden, the game first appeared on the Game Boy Color back in 2001. Gaiden used a top-down perspective camera, with battles fought in first-person view.
The story concerns a viral outbreak on the ocean liner Starlight, and sees series mainstays Leon S. Kennedy and Barry Burton investigating. As mentioned, the game is not in the Resident Evil canon, thanks to Gaiden‘s ending making certain games not take place.
Hey everyone! We've been working on something for a little while now, and thought we would give you a sneak peak of a long term project we are working on, back by popular demand!
Enjoy!https://t.co/pMO6KwMKw3

Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
