Capcom has not announced remakes of Resident Evil 5 or Resident Evil 6, and a new claim from known Resident Evil insider Dusk Golem suggests neither project is currently a priority.
The claim appeared after renewed fan discussion around Capcom’s remake pipeline, especially following the reveal of Resident Evil Veronica, the upcoming remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica.
According to the insider, Capcom is not currently committed to remaking Resident Evil 5 or Resident Evil 6, and there is no broader plan to use remakes as a direct setup for Resident Evil Requiem.
Resident Evil 5
Release Date: September 15, 2009

Resident Evil 6
Release Date: March 22, 2013
Genres: Shooter, Adventure
TL;DR – Key Info
- Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 remakes are not officially announced.
- Insider Dusk Golem claims Capcom is not currently committed to either remake.
- The claim says Capcom does not have a “master plan” to remake every mainline Resident Evil game.
- Resident Evil Veronica is officially confirmed for 2027.
- Any talk of RE5 or RE6 remakes should be treated as rumor unless Capcom confirms it.
What was claimed?
Dusk Golem claims Capcom currently has no active initiative to remake Resident Evil 5 or Resident Evil 6. The insider also pushed back on the idea that Capcom is planning a long remake chain designed to lead directly into Resident Evil Requiem.
The key point is that this is not an official Capcom statement. It is an insider claim, so it should be treated as unconfirmed until Capcom says otherwise.
Important: Capcom has confirmed Resident Evil Veronica, but it has not confirmed Resident Evil 5 Remake or Resident Evil 6 Remake.
What is officially confirmed?
| Game | Status |
|---|---|
| Resident Evil Veronica | Officially announced for 2027 |
| Resident Evil Requiem | Official mainline Resident Evil title |
| Resident Evil 5 Remake | Not officially announced |
| Resident Evil 6 Remake | Not officially announced |
For now, the safest takeaway is simple: Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 remakes remain speculation, while Resident Evil Veronica is the confirmed remake in Capcom’s public lineup.
