Resident Evil 3’s long-rumoured remake is, well, real. The game – which is expected to be officially announced at The Game Awards next week – has appeared in the PlayStation Store’s database, complete with cover art assets showcasing Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliveira, and the Nemesis. As is standard for the Biohazard series, Ms Valentine has an entirely new face.
According to online speculation, the PSone remake will launch next year, and has been in development for “some time”. This is now one of the worst kept secrets in gaming, with rumours beginning at the start of the year, when Resident Evil 2’s critically acclaimed remake released at the start of the year. Expect more information within the next ten days or so.
As an interesting aside, the box art for multiplayer spin-off Project Resistance has gone live alongside the Resident Evil 3 Remake assets. Could the online experiment be bundled alongside the single player title?

Well, I should probably try to get into Resident Evil now all the major games are on one platform.
Loving the key art, so can't wait to see the game in action. Going to be hype.
Oh boy, this is going to be brilliant. Finally went back to RE2 2nd Run after saving myself into a death loop and managed to get out.
I wonder which team made this, if it was the RE2 or RE7 or an entirely different team.....cause I want RE8!
Next year is seriously going to be the greatest year ever for games
@Stragen8 For me it depends if its like Resident Evil 7 or the Resident Evil 2 remake.
@Stragen8 pretty certain it'd be the RE2 team, they'll likely recycle a lot of its framework
If that's from the Playstation store maybe it's not that far away. Weren't both RE7 and RE2 January?
Its ridiculous how many big games are coming out next year
@Flaming_Kaiser It's more than likely going to be like Resident Evil 2 Remake.
I feel like changing the experience to a first-person perspective would be much too divisive for a remake of a third-person title.
Now a choice of perspective would be a nice treat.
Doesn't the background look too much like the Resi 2 cover?
Scratch that, it seems to be real. Quite surprised they went ahead with this before the Resi 2 remake was out.
I have been waiting for this announcement. Re2 remake was definitely my GOTY. I can't wait to be harrassed by nemesis all over again!
@GamingFan4Lyf Im certain they could make a spin-off with a first person view. But for me Resident Evil will always be third person. 😉
It just me or does Nemesis' design look really off? ... So does Jill in fact...
This was my favorite RE game during the PS1 days, even though 2 was objectively superior. Definitely picking it up to complete the gap in my RE folder.
This, Mass Effect Trilogy, FFXIII Trilogy, and Demon’s Souls Remake were the big 4 older titles I was hoping to get 2020 releases.
One down, 3ish to go (DeS is nearing all but confirmed territory).
I don't mind Jill's new face.
But I do get a chuckle out of Nemesis' twisted little nose.
If it's on the store's database, does that mean it's releasing soon?
I'm playing Resi Evil 2 at the mo and it's fantastic with some sublime lighting so I'm super chuffed for this next one. That isn't Jill, though.
I keep gearing up to do a full playthrough of this series, but new remakes keep happening. 😂 Next it'll hopefully be Code Veronica X that gets remade.
Jill looks awful; what they do to her? And also why they give Nemesis a nose?
looks like carlos will have a huge role to make the game longer
Just hook it to my vainsssssssss!!!!!!!
Man if this isn't real I'm gonna be super bummed out
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy
It's probably Nemesis' flat teeth and Jill's forehead.
At least, that's what it looks like to me. I think with Jill, it's just how she's angled in that shot.
Maybe, she looks a bit too old, but I'm probably just used to how she used to look.
The flat Nemesis teeth do look odd to me. It's probably the point, but they look like overgrown rodent teeth. Yucky.
Capcom had some of its characters leaked out for Street Fighter V during the whole EVO thing now this. Hey, we all knew this was coming through.
What the hell did they do to Nemesis?!
@nookie_egg Nobody nose..
(crickets)
Since I've never played RE3 I'm more than happy to play it soon I mean right after I finish Spider-man and RDR2, which should be just in time for it to be half price haha.
@keihtg take your like and get out.
I don't like the new nemesis look the original was more grotesque more mutation nemesis also never had a nose either because of the mutation bring the original look back capcom in all the 4k glory
I hope they kept the choices from the original, but they probably haven't. I restarted the original recently on DC as its one I never finished. Hate spiders!!!
@AdamNovice umm both take place in the same city what did you expect?
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy here comes the whining and complaining
@Deadlyblack does it matter?just enjoy the leaked resident evil 3 remake instead of complaining about something
@MsJubilee you're joking right?
@Daz1990 aww you be ok
Actually I was more confused then anything as to why they were changed so drastically @Undeadlogan but thanks for the "whiney complaint" at my opinion that they look a little off!
I have seen the light and the errors of my ways!
@Undeadlogan Yeah but it looks a straight copy and paste from the Resi 2 cover art, just seems a bit lazy.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I see babe
@AdamNovice ok don't complaining over a cover art
@MsJubilee I agree for 50% Jill looks awsome, Nemesis the nose looks stupid.
