AlthoughResident Evil 3 Remakehas been rumored for a while now, it was only recently that the game’s existence started to become real.Cover art for the upcoming remake leakedonline that featured close looks at the designs for the game’s main characters and main protagonist Nemesis.
Given the timing of the leak, manyResident Evilfans assumed that it meant the game would berevealed at The Game Awards next week. However, Game Awards producer Geoff Keighley quickly squashed that speculation by saying thatResident Evil 3 Remakewould not be part of the program. Now, a new candidate has emerged for the reveal.
RELATED:How Resident Evil 3 Remake Could Improve on the Original
According to a reliable leaker, theupcoming Sony State of Play streamwill put a heavy focus onResident Evil 3 Remake. Without question, fans should get another look at the cover art that leaked but the hope is that the presentation will also include gameplay. Much likeResident Evil 2 Remakeadapted the original to fit a modern playstyle and look, it will be interesting to see howResident Evil 3has evolved.
Thus far, Sony’s State of Play streams have been a mixed bag. When the company first announced the video series, many assumed that it would rival Nintendo’s Direct presentation in terms of the magnitude of reveals and the details revealed. However, outside of confirmation ofThe Last of Us Part 2’s release date(which was delayed a month later), the videos have been fairly lackluster.
That being said,if Sony can giveResident Evil 3 Remakethe timeit deserves then that could turn the series around. Moreover, ifResident Evil 3 Remakeis only part of the presentation, the hope would be that the other games revealed would be on a similar level. If all that fans are shown is a trailer then that would likely be disappointing.
Whether or not Capcom also decides to confirm a release date forResident Evil 3 Remakeis unclear. There have been rumors about when the game could hit, but they have varied significantly. Perhaps the strongest of the rumors suggests thatResident Evil 3 Remakewillrelease in the fall of 2020.
