It seems like Capcom is going to be remaking the iconic survival horror game, Resident Evil 2.

The news comes via a post over on the official Resident Evil Facebook page:

Hello RE fans! This is H again!

Right after the RE HD Remaster project was finished, I actually started putting together my ideas for this “RE2 Project”. So, I just brushed it up and went to see my boss to present the basic concept of the project already…

While this is just a tease from Yoshiaki Hirabayashi ( who produced the Resident Evil HD), this means he pitched the remake for remaking the second game. Coming from this, Capcom did ask fans if they wanted a remake only two days ago:

Hello Resident Evil fans!

This is Capcom R&D Division 1!

First off, we would like to express our deepest appreciation to all Resident Evil fans, for your passion, enthusiasm and continued support for the Resident Evil brand.

Enthusiasm for a Resident Evil 2 Remake is something we’ve been hearing from you over the years, and has drawn some recent attention in the media.

However, as the team owns the RE brand, we’re not certain how we feel about this approach, and would like to ask your honest and frank opinion about the “Resident Evil 2 Remake” and what the brand identity is supposed to be about?

Perhaps this means fans demanded the remake enough? We’ll keep you guys posted.
