The Resident Evil franchise is currently enjoying strong sales across all platforms, including PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. This is something that Capcom usually does right before a big reveal of a new game in the franchise. As pointed out by reputed leaker Dusk Golem, the Resident Evil 4 Remake in particular has an extremely steep discount, currently sitting at 75% off at $9.99. This is the lowest price it has ever been offered for, and Resident Evil 4 was the last remake game in the series to launch.

It was followed by RE 3 remake, spin-off Resident Evil: Resistance, Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil RE: Verseand RE 4 remake ends the line. With Resident Evil Requiem launched in 2026, it is possible that a new series could begin with RE code: Veronica potentially follow it.

However, it is not the only game that has been skipped so far. Resident Evil Zero has also not received a remake, and recent rumors have indicated that the original Resident Evil could see a second remake, with the first launching back in 2002 for the GameCube. Players have also wondered about the possibility of Resident Evil 5 get a remake, especially since the game is quite controversial.
