Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 2 Remake (Capcom) January 25, 2017, Capcom recently announced they were working on a Resident Evil 2 remake for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
The original was released in 1998 and featured survival horror as players dealt with the zombie outbreak taking over Raccoon City. The sequel will feature the same core gameplay mechanics as the original but will also offer many upgrades.
To accommodate modern gaming, this title will be filled with more action and an over-the-shoulder camera view rather than a fixed camera angle like its predecessor. It can be expected sometime in 2021.
Death Mark
Death Mark (Kadokawa Games) TBA Death Mark is the first title developed under Kadokawa’s new brand, and it revolves around a “mysterious and supernatural incident” that occurs at a school. The title is set to be released for PlayStation 4 and PC in 2021.
Curses N Chaos
Curses’ N Chaos (Gambrinus Media) TBA Curses’ N Chaos collaborates between Gambrinus Media and Warpstar Games.
It will be based on the universe of the tabletop fantasy role-playing game “Curse of Strahd” (CoS), taking place after Strahd’s defeat at Strahd’s hands.
Though CoS is technically a Dungeons & Dragons-based game, it evokes the atmosphere of classic horror games of the early Nineties.
Chasm
Chasm (Discord Games) TBA Chasm is an upcoming indie title that combines Metroidvania style mechanics with fast-paced, run & gun action platforming.
Though the game takes place in a cave, it features randomly generated sections of caverns to maintain replay value. Discord Games’ developer has stated they are influenced by many older games, including Metroid and Castlevania. It can be expected in 2021 for PC and Nintendo Switch.
