Resident Evil 3 has now been officially revealed to the world following weeks of rumours and leaks, but according to Kinda Funny's Imran Khan, the remake was originally planned to release alongside this year's Resident Evil 2 in a single package. Yeah, we're just as surprised as you are.
Speaking after reacting to Sony's latest State of Play livestream, Khan says: "Talking to people who are close to Capcom, from what I understand, that game and Resident Evil 2 were originally part of one package. But, it was too much work, the games were getting delayed. Resident Evil 2 was supposed to be released a year earlier than it did so they split them up. So, that's why this thing is coming so quickly."
It is an interesting talking point: how has Resident Evil 3 managed to arrive just 14 months after Resident Evil 2's remake? The assumption has been that the two were in development in tangent for a while, but according to Khan, they were planned to release side by side the entire time.
What do you make of this? Do you believe Khan? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Maybe at one point it was one package but I suspect that hasn't been the case for quite some time. This as the original did, will recycle a lot of the assets from Resident Evil 2 and it doesn't take a genius to work out how Mr X can be repurposed into the Nemesis and that's how it has been made so quickly
At least we’re finally getting a multiplayer mode again. Been waiting for a new one since Revelations 2. (Still love raid mode and wish that was coming back, but willing to give this one a go)
Yeah, I could believe that.
Like I even care to believe anything from KF.
I wonder do they have code Veronica ready to go for 2021 as well lol
made side by side?
yes
release as a package?
this isnt crash or spyro
where u just rebumped the visuals
only a fool will do that
Considering the game is really good and not just a simple remake I have no problem buying them separately.
@Areus I really hope capcom remake re veronica, re4 and re1, and maybe re5 and set the game on night rather than noon so it's more scary. And make chris like a human rather than caricature of hollywood actor, plus no boulder punching lol. Re6 needs reimagining rather than just a remake.
I'm betting the RE 2 and 3 bundle will be a ps5 release, this is usually capcom's behavior given how thy love to milk their IPs.
@TheInfantFinite I agree 100%! I love the lore they built with Rev 1/2. Especially 2! Weskers sister and Moira were really cool and they could do so much with that.
