So, what's the tease in question? Well, yesterday in celebration of Friday The 13th, the series' official Twitter account published the following tweet:
It's #FridayThe13th - We have our own relentless pursuer who just can't seem to die. pic.twitter.com/miBDNmeRp1

For those that don't know: the cardboard cut-out in the picture is of Nemesis (also known as "Pursuer" or Nemesis T-Type), the main antagonist in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and the secondary antagonist turned anti-hero of Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
Nemesis' backstory is that he was developed by Paris Labs of Umbrella's European Branch as one of the Nemesis T-Types, an offshoot of the Tyrant Project. The idea behind the project was to create a B.O.W that had all of the power a Tyrant possess, but with more intelligence and the ability to follow orders (you can continue to read more about the villain here).
Whether Capcom is teasing a Resident Evil 3 Remake, is anyone's best guess. While I firmly believe a remake of the game is coming, I'm not sure if this Tweet is any type of tease of its existence, though, marketing in 2018 is a weird thing, so maybe.
Regardless of what I think, many fans of the series quickly took to their battle stations on Twitter to let their cries for a remake be heard. Meanwhile, some seem to be convinced the tweet was a soft confirmation.
Resident Evil 3 Remake confirmed. Cool

If a remake of the greatest Resident Evil of all time happens i may literally cry. RE3 was my first true memory of gaming. Remember playing the demo over and over cause i couldnt afford the full game

As always with these type of stories, take any talk of a Resident Evil 3 Remake with a grain of salt. However, if the Resident Evil 2 Remake does well -- and the hype around it seems to indicate it will -- we may be revisiting this 1999 horror classic soon enough.
