Resident Evil 2 Reborn has officially been canceled upon the request of Capcom.
The fan-made remake was in development at indie studio InvaderGames, and it was scheduled to launch as a free download by the end of this summer.
"After the official announcement of the Resident Evil 2 remake by Capcom, we officialise the end of the works on Resident Evil 2 Reborn," InvaderGames said in a Facebook post.
"Capcom called us up in advance of the announcement and asked us if we would mind stopping the project as they had longer term plans for a Resident Evil 2 Remake. They have invited us to a meeting to discuss further ideas."
The studio added: "Even though we cannot complete the project of Resident Evil 2 Reborn, we're happy that what we've shown has achieved consents from worldwide fans and especially has been noticed from Capcom itself.
"We promise that the work done until now will be useful for future projects, we won't disappoint your and our expectations."
