Is a Resident Evil 2 remake in the works? *UPDATED 12/08/2015*

*****

This article was originally posted yesterday, however since then there has been a MASSIVE development. Take a look at the video below:

In the time since posting the original story, the Capcom team have now confirmed the Remake is in development! No date for it's release yet, however expect to hear more over the coming months. This is possibly the greatest announcement they could have made this year. The original story follows below.

In recent years the team over at Capcom have been working on remastering some of their original games within the Resident Evil series. First off was Resident Evil Remastered, which is soon to be followed by Resident Evil 0. Resident Evil was previously remastered for the GameCube, giving it a fresh lick of paint on its now out-dated graphics. Released in January of this year (2015) it not only give the graphics another fresh lick of paint, but added in a few extras to give the game that little bit more than just being a HD version.

Jump forward to recently when it was announced they would be giving the same treatment to Resident Evil 0, which features Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen. This was announced in a similar fashion to Resident Evil, through a video announcement. However in recent months, a few cryptic things have been posted over on the Resident Evil Facebook Page.

This came quite quickly after the announcement and considering the way they have been working, it wouldn't be surprising if it did come, however it wasn't expected to be so soon. Resident Evil 2 is without a doubt, my favourite entry in the entire series and has been the subject of petitions to get a remake done for years. It now seems like the Capcom team is finally trying to reach out and listen to its fans:

Now judging by the posts made by the Resident Evil team (especially that one) it would be quite obvious it is at least being discussed! This is quite some announcement and tease, so now all we're waiting for is an official one. Do you think it will be coming a while after Resident Evil 0, or do you think it's been in the works for a lot longer than that? Personally I think it's been in the works for a while and due to it being the epitome of the Resident Evil series, they are trying to make it perfect before releasing any sort of announcement.
