Capcom elucidates on confusions regarding the upcoming Resident Evil 2 title. Accordingly, the game will be a full remake and not only a remastered version.

GameRant reported that Resident Evil 2, a game currently in development, is going to be a total remake and will not only be a graphically improved copy of an older version. It cited a Twitter post from the senior marketing director of Capcom UK, Stuart Turner clarifying the matters.

The report noted that the most recent financial report of the company referred to the upcoming game as a "remastered version of Resident Evil 2." But to clear the mix-up caused by this, Turner said that it will be a "full from the ground up remake."

Check out his Twitter post below:

According to IGN, RE 2 remake was first announced officially by Capcom in August. The upcoming game is in the works at Capcom's R&D Division 1, as cited on the post.

Moreover, Yoshiaki Hirabayashi is the one heading the development of the remake. He is also the producer of the 2015 remake of the original Resident Evil.

The remake was revealed in a statement by Hirabayashi during Capcom's "Special Message" announcement. "You've been telling us for years that you want Resident Evil 2 to be remade, and we haven't been able to make it happen...until now!" he said.

"We at R&D Division 1 will do our best to take on your feedback and deliver the gameplay experience you've been waiting for."

Below is the official reveal trailer for Resident Evil 2 remake:

The official release date for Resident Evil 2 remake has not been disclosed yet, but it looks like it may take a while for launch updates to happen. Hirabayashi further shared during the announcement, "It will be some time before we can bring you an update on this project."

When it comes to remastered versions, Capcom released a few number of games such as Resident Evil HD Remaster, DMC Remastered and Devil May Cry 4 HD Remaster. This 2016, Den Of Geek reported that Resident Evil Zero will also have a remastered edition.

Going back to Resident Evil 2 remake, Game Rant shared that it will most likely be available for PC, Xbox One and PS4. Check back on this site for the latest updates on the remake of RE 2.
