We can only guess

As we all know, Tango Gameworks was shut down by Microsoft back in 2024. Leaks claimed the studio was then developing an Anniversary Edition of The Evil Within 1 — the original game launched in 2014, so a remastered reissue for its tenth anniversary would have made perfect sense. If those leaks were legitimate, such a remaster would not have been delayed all the way to 2026.

Tango Gameworks has since been restructured and retains the rights to Hi-Fi Rush, while the intellectual property for The Evil Within 1 remains owned by Microsoft. It is safe to say this planned Anniversary Edition is no longer going to happen.
