Resident Evil Revelations Remake Potentially in the Works at Capcom

Capcom is reportedly considering a remake of Resident Evil: Revelations, the 2012 survival horror title originally released for the Nintendo 3DS. While no official announcement has been made, discussions about a potential remake have taken place within the company, according to industry insider Dusk Golem [1].

The Role of Kōshi Nakanishi

The possibility of a remake is bolstered by the continued involvement of Kōshi Nakanishi, the original director of Resident Evil: Revelations. Nakanishi has played a significant role in shaping the Resident Evil franchise in recent years, similarly directing Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Requiem [3]. His leadership on Resident Evil Requiem suggests Capcom values his vision for the series.

About Resident Evil: Revelations

Resident Evil: Revelations, developed and published by Capcom, is set between the events of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5 [2]. The game follows counter-terrorism agents Jill Valentine and Parker Luciani as they investigate a bioterrorist organization threatening to infect the world’s oceans with a virus [2]. Originally released for the Nintendo 3DS in January 2012, it was later ported to Windows, PlayStation 3, Wii U, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch [2].

Why a Remake Makes Sense

Despite being ported to multiple platforms, Resident Evil: Revelations was initially limited by the hardware of the Nintendo 3DS. A remake designed for modern consoles could significantly enhance the game’s graphics, gameplay, and overall presentation [4]. The original game’s episodic structure, focused on survival, evasion, and exploration, could be expanded upon to create a more immersive and detailed experience.

Current Status

As of March 26, 2026, Capcom has not officially announced plans to develop a Resident Evil: Revelations remake. Dusk Golem reports that the idea has been “tossed around” but is not currently in active development [4]. However, given Nakanishi’s continued involvement and the game’s potential, a remake remains a possibility in the future.
