If the leak is anything to go by, Capcom is reportedly considering making a Resident Evil 5 remake. However, it looks like the company's executives in the United States are concerned over the several controversies the game has been through since its release over a decade ago.

The Japanese Capcom executives, however, are not worried about past incidents. Simply put, Capcom is highly interested in making a remake of Resident Evil 5 but there's still a mystery over how and when the project will begin.

All things considered, one can assume that fans might get a remake. However, everything should be taken with a grain of salt unless Capcom announces it.

Interestingly, it was the first installment in the survival-horror franchise to feature a two-player cooperative gameplay experience. Albert Wesker and the iconic Jill Valentine were some of the other key characters in its story.
