The Resident Evil 2 Remake is probably one of the most anticipated games around right now, and if the series' latest social media updates are anything to go by, we may be about to get our first glimpse at it.
Capcom has updated both the Facebook and Twitter pages for the Resident Evil franchise with a new logo that hearkens back to the PSone classics. The vintage text can now be seen displayed in front of the mansion from Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.
It's also worth noting that the original Resident Evil 2's 20th anniversary is only eight days away in North America.
So, do you think we're about to get our first look at Resident Evil 2 Remake? Remember your ink ribbons in the comments below.

It seemed pretty obvious that they were waiting until they were finished with 7 to start talking about 2. Hopefully we get news soon, and hopefully it comes out this year - it's been in development for around 3 years, right? So it's possible.
Completely forgot about this being made. So why do Capcom get an easier ride on the elongated development of this compared to Square and FF7 Remake on the internet then? Not trolling; just curious
Looking forward to playing this again in any event. This was the first game i bought (along with Wipeout 2097, Gran Turismo and Tomb Raider 2) when i got my playstation
@Orpheus79V start of august 2015 when it was first revealed so not a million miles away
@MadAussieBloke Oh great, now I actually want that and will be disappointed!
Hohohoooo this'd go down nicely. 20 years. What have I been doing.
I'll drop every game I'm playing when this comes out. RE2 is one of my favorite games ever!
Can't wait to see this.
My favourite game in the series finally remade and ready for release?Been so looking forward to this!Once I have finished Evil Within 2 I really must have another attempt at VII..just not in VR or home alone..and without the headphones..and in the daytime.
Now THIS is a PS4 game worth penning on your calendar
@kyleforrester87 Getting older?
@RedMageLanakyn most def resident evil 2 is easily my favorite resident evil and I was as giddy as a school girl when they announced the remake lol
This news makes me feel so old XD. Excuse me while I use my time machine to go back to teenage years or younger lol...
On-Topic: Looking forward to seeing the new updates, even if there's no trailer or teaser...
This is the prime example of:
when i think about the future, i be reminiscing
I always wondered why RE2 and RE3 were never remade in the same vein as REmake on the Gamecube. I've never played either of them so would appreciate remakes of them on PS4.
Also, if it's true, wouldn't that just leave RE3 as the only mainline RE game you can't play on the PS4? Not sure if Code Veronica is classed as a mainline entry or not. It would be amazing if you could get every mainline RE entry as a PS4 disc release.
DAY 1 BUY The day I got my PS1 I bought Crash Bandicoot and a copy of the Official PlayStation Magazine and it had the RE2 Demo with it and that Demo(then Full Game) Blew-me-away But saying that i didn't buy the last to big RE games because well I don't know why really.
@GravyThief Veronica is mainline for sure, it was originally to be called RE3, and yeah that'd be correct. I hope they do something with 3, too, as I'm one of the rare people who preferred it over 2.
hope it's close and releasing this year!
@Rob_230 because it's "hip" to hate on Square at the moment
in other words there is no reason but they still do it anyway
@FullbringIchigo that's not really a fair assessment - fans have always been very vocal about a potential FF7 remake, and Square built a huge amount of hype with the E3 reveal. As great as Resi 2 is, fans have never been as vocal about wanting it remade, and Capcom have not built up hype surrounding the potential remake other than suggesting it's in development. If this tease is indeed RE2 related you can expect Capcom to be a lot more forthcoming with information and release dates than Square have been with the FF7 remake.
I bought the original trilogy on Vita a while ago and tried playing RE2 but the looks and controls haven't aged well. Defo getting this when it comes out all crisp, slick and shiney.
@ApostateMage the controls are fine in my opinion, even on RE Remake on PS4 the classic control scheme is actually easier to use than the new one. Maybe it's muscle memory or something that makes it easier!
@ApostateMage I'm with you; I can't stand tank controls. It was fine back then, but ugh, not anymore.
Is this still a thing? Resident Evil 2 is still the highlight of the series for me so I watch with great interest how they handle the remake. Hopefully they'll take more lessons from VII then 5 or 6
@FullbringIchigo Yeah its really bizarre. Granted, Square struggled massively last gen to get to grips with the technology; but for me they are absolutely back on form this gen.
@Kidfried in fairness my point was about ff7 remake
i completely agree that the wait for kingdom hearts 3 has been both excruciating and ridiculous mind! Surely it will hit 2018 as promised....
I like RE3 better myself, but still love RE2! Hope news does drop soon!
This game will be day one, i will finally play it thanks to the remake.
@Rob_230 nice start! I had Resi 1, Fade to Black (yes it was absolute pants, but a sequel to the hugely influential Flashback so I needed it) and Wipeout!
@BowTiesAreCool Great collection i was a little late to the party having pined after the N64 after playing Mario at my friends. My parents for some reason decided to get me this thing called a 'play...station???' instead. Have never looked back to this day. Sony continuously knock it out of the park.
O and that friend? The N64 was soon to be replaced by that wonderful grey box of tricks:)
This was amazing back in the day so I hope this remake does it justice.
I've always felt bad for never getting to play the original 2 and 3 and still calling myself a RE fan. Looking forward to this for sure!
@GravyThief cause that was back in 2002 and technology they only had back then
