There is an exciting development for fans of the Resident Evil series. Nicole Tompkins, who voiced the character Jill Valentine, said in a post on Instagram, "It's good to be Jill again." This post is especially important for Capcom to officially announce a new Resident Evil 1 Remake Although it was not announced, it aroused great curiosity among players.
Resident Evil 1 Remake Rumors Are Getting Stronger
While Tompkins’ post doesn’t directly point to a Resident Evil 1 remake, fans have speculated that the mysterious sentence hints at a new project. The fact that Capcom remade the original Resident Evil for the GameCube and then released remasters is the basis for these new remake rumors. It’s becoming more likely that the original game will be remade in a similar way, especially considering the success of modern remakes of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4.
The Success of Resident Evil 2 and the First Game's Addition to the Stream
The success of Resident Evil 2 Remake has shown that Capcom's strategy of re-releasing old games with modern graphics was a wise decision. Praised by both players and critics, this remake has raised expectations for the first game in the series to receive the same modern treatment. A Resident Evil 1 Remake, especially one made with the RE Engine, could bring a breath of fresh air to the series by modernizing the atmosphere of the game.
Social Media Tips and Promotion Strategies
Nicole Tompkins' post is reminiscent of Capcom's past promotional strategies, where the company has used similar social media hints ahead of previous game announcements, furthering speculation that a new Resident Evil 1 Remake announcement is imminent.
Possible Announcement at Major Events
Another possibility for the announcement of Resident Evil 1 Remake is at major events. Platforms like Summer Game Fest or Tokyo Game Show are among the places where Capcom can make such important announcements. An announcement made at such events would not be a big surprise for fans.
While there is currently no other explanation or leak other than Nicole Tompkins' post, social media clues like these could herald an exciting turning point for the Resident Evil series.
