Resident Evil is one of the key pillar franchises for Capcom. This series has spanned across several console generations at this point. We’ve seen mainline installments continue to come out into the marketplace alongside spinoffs. However, as of late, we’ve started to see Capcom embrace the older games. A few remakes have managed to make their way out into the marketplace for modern platforms. The question some fans have now is if we’ll see this trend continue and if a remake for Resident Evil 5 is in the works.
Resident Evil 4 Remake Fan Finds An Unused Wesker Character Model
24.09.2023 - 20:25 / thegamer.com
Resident Evil 4 Remake finally has the Separate Ways expansion, launched earlier this week. As well as letting players take the role of Ada and follow her own story, it also gives dataminers a bunch of new files to glean over - and one discovery and piqued the fanbase's interest.
This new file is an unused character model for Wesker, different from the one used in the Separate Ways story. Here, we can see that he has an incredibly injured arm, matching some concept art that was leaked ahead of Resident Evil 4 Remake even being announced. The fact that there's a character model for this take on Wesker suggests that it was considered until fairly late into development, before being scrapped for whatever reason.

This discovery was made by modder Michael Kemp and shared on Twitter. Quickly, Resident Evil fans started guessing that the visibly injured arm is a reference to the beatings Wesker took in Resident Evil Code: Veronica, which would have been the previous game in the timeline.
If this is meant to be a shout-out to the events of Code: Veronica, that would be huge. The game rarely receives the love and attention that others in the series get from Capcom, despite fans long begging for a remake or remaster. If Wesker made some kind of allusion to the game's events in Separate Ways, that would be evidence that a remake is possible. So far, however, it's been skipped, with Capcom going straight from Resident Evil 3 to Resi 4.
Alas, it seems the model goes unused, and was perhaps just left scrapped and left behind as opposed to being added with the intention of being introduced in another expansion. However, if the injuries were Code: Veronica induced, then at least the game is on the studio's mind, not forgotten entirely.
Unfortunately, Code: Veronica fans will be left with those scraps for now. Some fans took it upon themselves to try and develop a remake themselves, but this was later shut down by Capcom. The fan devs say this was due to them using the Resident Evil name, not specifically because it was a Code: Veronica remake. So, that might not be proof that an official remake is on the way either. In which case, Resident Evil 5 would be up next after Capcom is done with updates to Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways Review (PS5) | Push Square
This year's Resident Evil 4 is one of the greatest remakes of all time, but purists — or at least those who had already played the PS2 version — will tell you it was still missing something. When the Nintendo GameCube original was ported to Sony's second home system, it came bundled with new campaigns all about side character Ada Wong. Separate Ways was the most important of the bunch, and six months after the PS5, PS4 remake's release, it's back as DLC for Capcom's newest masterpiece. 18 years later, it has the same effect: Separate Ways meaningfully expands the Resident Evil 4 story and provides a tantalising reason to return to one of the best games ever.

Resident Evil 4's Separate Ways DLC Brings Back Original's Iconic Laser Corridor
Back when Resident Evil 4 Remake launched, many of use were quick to dive in and see exactly what Capcom had changed compared to the original. Some were slightly bummed out that Capcom decided to remove a lot of the goofier elements, including all of the quick time events, the chase scene with Salazar's big concrete robot, and the infamous laser corridor scene which had Leon doing backflips and other acrobatics to avoid being sliced up.
