'Resident Evil 3 Remake' Latest News, Update: Assigned to Third-Party Developer, ‘RE 8’ On Next-Gen Consoles

It would seem that the positive feedback for the “Resident Evil 2 Remake” has given Capcom all the reasons to go full-steam ahead to make the “Resident Evil 3 Remake” a reality. However, it’s being hinted that the company itself will not be developing it and is instead handing the project over to a third-party studio. It would seem that it is busy with “Resident Evil 8,” which might be coming out on the PlayStation 5 and the next Xbox.

As WCCFTECH reports, there are rumors currently swirling around the web that the “Resident Evil 3 Remake” is not being made by Capcom itself. Rather, an outside studio will be handling the project, which would certainly be cause for concern. After all, the “Resident Evil 2 Remake” is being praised for its quality largely because it was made by the company. An outside influence might only ruin what would have been an excellent remake.

On the one hand, this could mean that the “Resident Evil 3 Remake” will come out sooner than many expected. On the other, it could also mean that the quality will be horrible and it won’t represent the spirit of the original game adequately. With this being a rumor, though, it’s worth pointing out that it could very well turn out to be completely inaccurate.

Aside from the “Resident Evil 3 Remake,” there have also been reports with regards to “Resident Evil 8” pertaining to when it will come out. It is being suggested that the game will be released only on next-generation consoles due to the demand in power that it comes with. This is both good news and bad news if it turns out to be true since fans will need to get another unit if they want to play it. If the quality is there, though, the investment would be worth it.
