As well as being one of the most successful horror franchises in the industry, featuringone of the most iconic save functions in gaming, it’s changed up the classic formula to keep things fresh and has had a string of well-received remakes. The first installments have successfully been brought back to life with more contemporary development methods, and it looks like another is on the way.
That is to say, an unofficial remake ofResident Evilis currently in the works by an independent team. A brief trailer showing how it looks so far was spotted by DSO Gaming.

Due to the engine it’s being developed in, it looks pretty fantastic so far. At the time of writing, there doesn’t appear to be a release window for this remake.
