Key Points:
- Capcom chose not to start its Resident Evil remake series with Resident Evil 1 because the original game is "stoic" and heavily focused on a style of horror that might not resonate with modern gamers, according to Jun Takeuchi.
- The company opted to begin with the Raccoon City incident, making Resident Evil 2 the first remake, followed by remakes of Resident Evil 3 and 4, as this storyline serves as the core starting point of the franchise.
- Resident Evil 1 has yet to receive a modern remake, but fans can currently play the 2002 GameCube remake, which is available on Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2.
- The next anticipated remake in the series is Resident Evil Veronica, scheduled for release in 2027.
