TheResident Evil 2remake was mostly faithful to the source material, but it was missing some enemy types. There will be changes in the upcomingResident Evil 3remake as well, but we can confirm that at least one of the game’s unique enemies will be returning.
As revealed by the Official PlayStation Magazine, the sliding worm enemies from the original game will be returning in theResident Evil 3remake. For those that may not remember, the sliding worms are slimy green creatures that pounce on their victims to suck their blood. They don’t pose a huge threat by themselves, but can overwhelm players when encountered in large numbers.

The existence of the sliding worms in theResident Evil 3remake likely confirms the return of an even greater threat - the Grave Digger. The Grave Digger enemy is the adult version of the sliding worms, and is much more dangerous than its leech-like offspring. Players encounter a couple of Grave Diggers over the course of theResident Evil 3story, and it seems as though they will have to contend with them in the remake as well.
In the originalResident Evil 3game, the Grave Digger enemies were encountered in the sewers and at the Raccoon City Park. It’s possible that the location of the Grave Diggers will be different in the new game, but that remains to be seen. It’s likely that fans won’t know for sure until theResident Evil 3remake launches in April.
We know that theResident Evil 3remake will make some changes, and so it’s quite possible that players won’t encounter the sliding worms and Grave Diggers in the same spots. It’s also possible that players will encounter more Grave Diggers than the couple that were seen in the original game. After all, we know that some of thehuman characters in theResident Evil 3remakeare being given expanded roles, so there’s no reason that can’t extend to enemies as well.
In the meantime, we’re still waiting for word on some of the other enemies that were encountered in the originalResident Evil 3. It’s been teased that theResident Evil 3remake will bring back crows, but that has yet to be confirmed.
Resident Evil 3launches on April 3 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
