Capcom has no current plans to remake *Resident Evil 5* or *Resident Evil 6*, according to leaker Dusk Golem. This directly contradicts rumors suggesting a comprehensive franchise remake project aimed at retconning the series towards *Requiem*'s narrative. Golem clarified on ResetEra forums that Capcom lacks any committed initiative for these specific titles. While not ruling out future remakes if fan demand surges—especially after potential remakes of *Resident Evil 1* and *Code Veronica* in 2027—Capcom currently focuses only five years ahead, reassessing priorities periodically. The leaker emphasized there's no master plan linking remakes to *Requiem*, dismissing claims of an overarching restructuring. Recent remakes like *Resident Evil 4* (2005) predate *5* (2009) and *6* (2012), explaining their lower priority.

The speculation stems from *Requiem*'s success and earlier reports about a potential *Resident Evil 1* remake. Fans inferred a broader remake strategy, but Golem stressed Capcom has no concrete timeline or commitment for *5* or *6*. He acknowledged that commercial performance of upcoming remakes could eventually make them viable, but stressed this is speculative and not based on current directives. Capcom's approach appears reactive rather than proactive, with remake decisions tied to short-to-medium term commercial viability and development resources. The absence of a long-term vision reduces pressure to remake older titles immediately.

This clarification manages fan expectations but doesn't eliminate future possibilities. A $2.1 billion industry-wide appetite for remakes, combined with *Resident Evil*'s iconic status, means demand could shift Capcom's stance. However, the leaker's emphasis on Capcom's reactive nature suggests any *5* or *6* remakes would likely be years away, contingent on unpredictable market conditions and internal prioritization. The focus remains on near-future projects like the *Code Veronica* and *Resident Evil 1* remakes scheduled for 2027. This news underscores the volatile nature of game development planning, where fan enthusiasm often outpaces official commitments without guaranteed outcomes.
