Resident Evil 2 is regarded by many as the pinnacle of the series, and fans have just been given renewed hope that a remake could happen.

Yoshiaki Hirabayashi - who worked as a programmer on the game and produced several of its sequels - has revealed that his pitch for a remake is in Capcom's hands.

Hirabayashi took to Facebook to inform fans that he began drawing up plans for a new version of Resident Evil 2, shortly after development on Resident Evil HD Remaster had concluded.

He wrote: "Hello RE fans! This is H again! Right after the RE HD Remaster project was finished, I actually started putting together my ideas for this 'RE2 Project'."

"So, I just brushed it up and went to see my boss to present the basic concept of the project already..."

Capcom recently confirmed that it is open to the possibility of a remake by requesting community feedback on the fan-created Resident Evil 2 Remake.
