Zeno’s purpose

Now that some time has passed I’ve thought about what was Zenos purpose considering we don’t get to fight him , I think the way he was designed was so that we would want to fight him he’s damaging , enticing , arrogant, like creating an itch that needs to be scratched they are using Zeno to manufacture / plant that itch because the only remakes they have left likely all involve Wesker.

They are really dragging out his return/building suspense in the modern engine , so it will also feel fresh when fighting him not re hashing a Zeno fight.

That being said if taking the same logic I would assume next up in the REmake pipeline will NOT be RE1 as we have just had major plant and spider boss fights. As well as crimson head rehash & helipad by a lab,

Perhaps they go with CVX > 5 for CVX they can use assets from RE4 & 8 for Rockfort island and the palace and Antarctica is something they can expand upon the snow from RE8. It wouldn’t make sense for 5 to be next killing Wesker off in the first game they bring him back to centre stage.

I could see them leaning heavily into the same angle for Spencer mansion as the zombies in the care Center in terms of doing old tasks (flicking light switch , cleaning mirror) if they ever did remake 1.
