Capcom has no plans to remake Resident Evil 5 and 6 right now, according to insider Dusk Golem, who pushed back on speculation that the two titles were being lined up as part of a wider remake plan tied to Resident Evil Requiem. Writing in a ResetEra thread, the reliable Resident Evil leaker said the company is not committed to either remake and has no long-term master plan for the franchise.
The claim lands shortly after the official reveal of Resident Evil Veronica and amid rumours of a Resident Evil 0 Remake, both of which had fans asking which classic entries Capcom would revisit next. As of 23 June 2026, nothing about RE5 or RE6 has been officially confirmed by Capcom.
What Dusk Golem Said About the Resident Evil 5 and 6 Remakes
Dusk Golem was responding to a separate claim that Capcom had a remake line planned to lead into Requiem and restructure the series narrative. He called that claim false in all its details. In his words, Capcom has “no f**king idea right now what they want to do with RE5 and RE6 in remaking them, if they ever even decide to do them”, adding that the company is not currently committed to making them at all.
He also rejected the idea that any RE5 or RE6 Remake would be reworked to feed into Requiem. Capcom will only decide what to do with those projects if it ever commits to them, he said, and there is no master plan guiding the decision. According to Golem, Capcom tends to think only five years ahead at any time and reassesses every few years where the franchise should go, rather than mapping out a single long-term plan.
Golem summarised the position plainly: there is no plan to remake RE5 or RE6 right now, no initiative to remake every Resident Evil game specifically, and no intent to tie a remake line to Requiem.
Why Veronica and Zero Tie Into Requiem
Golem drew a clear line between the games that do connect to Requiem and the ones that do not. Resident Evil Veronica and the Resident Evil 0 Remake will tie into Requiem, but he attributed that to the fact they were in development at the same time as Requiem rather than any overarching strategy. Requiem specifically sets up Veronica and RE0 to connect more closely with itself.
The distinction matters because the original claim Golem was correcting had folded RE5 and RE6 into that same connected structure. By his account, the overlap between Veronica, RE0 and Requiem is a product of concurrent development, not evidence of a series-wide remake roadmap.
A Resident Evil 5 Remake Still Likely Someday
Despite the lack of current plans, Golem expects a Resident Evil 5 Remake to happen eventually. He believes fan demand will climb following the releases of Veronica, the Resident Evil 0 Remake and a remake of the first Resident Evil, and that Capcom will not ignore that demand indefinitely. He framed it as his own expectation of how events will unfold rather than anything confirmed.
Resident Evil 6 looks far less certain. The title was among the less beloved entries in the series, and the absence of a clear creative direction for it leaves its remake prospects weaker than RE5’s. Fans have long anticipated that a faithful RE5 Remake would require changes, while RE6 would need broader improvements to win the same reception.
What Capcom Is Working On Next
Capcom’s near-term slate is already accounted for. Resident Evil Veronica, a remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica, is in the pipeline, and DLC for Resident Evil Requiem is expected once Veronica is out of the way. A Resident Evil 0 Remake has been rumoured, reportedly rebooted mid-development and now led by the main Resident Evil team.
A remake of the original Resident Evil is also rumoured to be in the works, with a source that accurately detailed Requiem roughly two years before release also pointing to a Resi 1 remake in development. That earlier rumour described a first-person remake, though it dates back to 2024 and may have changed since. Golem has separately backed the Resident Evil 1 Remake rumours, making it a strong candidate for Capcom’s next major project after Veronica.
With the studio occupied by two remakes and Requiem’s DLC, additional remake projects starting now would be a stretch. For RE5 and RE6, the wait continues, and the clearest signal of movement will be whether Veronica’s performance pushes Capcom to keep the remake run going.
