Square Enix might be working on a new Parasite Eve game

This is the best word to describe the entire plot of Parasite Eve, which first started as a novel in 1995 before becoming a movie, manga, then finally, as a video game series.

Although there's no official confirmation, Square Enix hasn't been shy about its intention to revisit its older franchises. The most recent example is Tactics Ogre: Reborn. Not to mention, Ryan "AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem," alluded to a potential new Parasite Eve game on Twitter when talking about the impact Capcom had on the survival horror genre when it released Resident Evil 2: Remake a few years ago.

Companies are cashing in on the nostalgia wave. It's arguable that studios can no longer think of original ideas, which is why we're seeing them go back to older titles. At the same time, there might be a bigger and more creative reason for this.

Now that they can afford the type of technology they could only dream of, many executives feel like they can fulfill the potential of the original vision of their older games. Square Enix has proven that it can do remasters and remakes right.

Parasite Eve originally launched at the height of Japanese horror. Over two decades later, it might see a resurgence just when its older contemporaries are making a comeback.

In other news, there's a long list of iconic survival horror games that's getting either a new game or a remake in the next year or two. The list includes Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, and Silent Hill. It'll feel like the 90s all over again if we see another Parasite Eve and Fatal Frame game join the lineup.
