Because hey, the more Resident Evil fan projects, the merrier, right? YouTube channel RE: Biohazard has revealed a new fan remake of the first Resident Evil game called BIOHAZARD:RE1 Classic Edition, this time powered by the Unreal Engine 5.
This one is a separate project from the trio of developers working on a remake of the RE remake (along with a remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica). Sadly, we only get brief glimpses of gameplay in this trailer, which is mostly made up of cutscenes recreated in UE5. Even still, scenes such as the first zombie reveal, Jill playing Mozart’s Moonlight Sonata and more look absolutely fantastic.
As with the other fan remakes, the trailer points out right from the start that all of this is done without Capcom’s approval. That being said, Capcom has been pretty good with Resident Evil fan games so far. BIOHAZARD:RE1 Classic Edition appears to stay true to the original version of the game with the fixed camera angles and tank controls. Other than the video, there doesn’t appear to be a website for the project, nor is there a release date as of yet.
Meanwhile in Capcom land, we’re waiting on the upcoming release of the Resident Evil Village DLC, which drop October 28th along with Resident Evil Village Gold Edition.
Big thanks to DSOGaming for spotting this one.
