Fan Remake of ‘Resident Evil’ Appears With ‘BIOHAZARD:RE1 Classic Edition’ [Trailer]
Because hey, the more Resident Evil fan projects, the merrier, right? YouTube channel RE: Biohazard has revealed a new fan remake of the first Resident Evil game called BIOHAZARD:RE1 Classic Edition, this time powered by the Unreal Engine 5.
This one is a separate project from the trio of developers working on a remake of the RE remake (along with a remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica). Sadly, we only get brief glimpses of gameplay in this trailer, which is mostly made up of cutscenes recreated in UE5. Even still, scenes such as the first zombie reveal, Jill playing Moonlight Sonata and more look absolutely fantastic.
As with the other fan remakes, the trailer points out right from the start that all of this is done without Capcom’s approval. That being said, Capcom has been pretty good with Resident Evil fan games so far. BIOHAZARD:RE1 Classic Edition appears to stay true to the original version of the game with the fixed camera angles and tank controls. Other than the video, there doesn’t appear to be a website for the project, nor is there a release date as of yet.
Meanwhile in Capcom land, we’re waiting on the upcoming release of the Resident Evil Village DLC, which drop October 28th along with Resident Evil Village Gold Edition.
Big thanks to DSOGaming for spotting this one.
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.
