CAPCOM is cautioning customers that there may be a Resident Evil 3 remake release date delay in Europe. If you’re hoping to get your hands on a copy of the Resident Evil 3 remake, you may be waiting longer than you expect.
A tweet from CAPCOM noted that while the official release date currently remains unchanged, “some European markets” could potentially face delayed deliveries of non-essential goods. Naturally, this includes video games, and the next Resident Evil remake game may well be affected, whether you’re getting a regular boxed copy or one of the awesome collector’s editions.

Resident Evil’s Community Manager notes that any such delays only applies to physical products. If you’ve pre-ordered the digital version of the game (either through a physical retailer or an online store), you should still be getting the game at the appropriate time.
It’s unclear if this potential Resident Evil 3 remake release date delay will also include North America. While CAPCOM’s message focuses on Europe, other games potentially face problems with physical copies arriving on your doorstep in a timely manner and recent Animal Crossing: New Horizonspushed back past the release date shipments were in some North American markets.
Game Revolution recommends all readers comply with CDC guidelines and remain as isolated as possible during this urgent time. Visit the Centers for Disease Control at CDC.gov or the World Health Organization at Who.int for the latest information on the coronavirus and learn what you can do to stop the spread.
Just to clear up any confusion:
The game is still launching on April 3rd, digitally. So if you pre-ordered digitally through a retailer or through 1st party like PS4, Steam, Xbox, you should be fine.
The potential delays apply to physical SKUs.
