Capcom has been correct busy over the past decade or so, pumping out a pleasant combine of recent Resident Evil titles alongside critically-acclaimed remake of its older entries.
There is a lingering sense amongst followers, nevertheless, that in some unspecified time in the future there’ll merely be no extra remakes. The older video games will finally meet up with the brand new, and Capcom might want to put together accordingly. Properly, apparently it’s! In accordance with Jun Takeuchi, at the least.
In a put up from RENEWS on X (thanks, The Gamer), Takeuchi, who has been with the sequence because the very starting and now serves as government producer, claims that the event groups at Capcom have been “regularly making ready” for the remakes to finally catch as much as the brand new video games.
Here is what he needed to say:
“The present Resident Evil sequence is being developed alongside two tracks: the numbered titles enable gamers to expertise the continued story of the sequence, whereas the remake sequence permits them to expertise the previous. Sometime, the remake sequence will meet up with the period of the numbered titles, and we’re already excited about what we are going to do when that occurs. The truth is, now we have been regularly making ready for that since round Resident Evil Village. The looks of names similar to Umbrella and Spencer, in addition to the return of Raccoon Metropolis in Requiem, are additionally in preparation for a ‘crossover’.
“One of many causes we regard 7 as a turning level for the sequence is that it was additionally the title the place we started engaged on this sort of setup. At first, we included these components with the sense that they had been fan service, however customers had been way more delighted by them than we had imagined, they usually even started analysing the ideas that the event crew had privately stored to itself. So, as a sequence, we determined to reply to customers’ expectations and pushed this setup additional in Village and Requiem.”
Fairly intriguing, proper? It makes us marvel simply how Capcom plans to execute this so-called ‘crossover’ when it will definitely runs out of remakes.
The opposite issue to all of that is that it sort of implies we’ll be getting remakes of each mainline entry till RE7. We all know Resident Evil Veronica is on its approach subsequent 12 months, however rumours additionally point out {that a} contemporary remake of the unique Resident Evil can be within the works.
Following that, in fact, is RE5 and RE6, neither of that are held in notably excessive esteem by followers. That mentioned, we predict remakes might nonetheless work, supplied Capcom approaches them in the correct approach. As for this ‘crossover’, we think about such an occasion continues to be at the least a decade or so away, however we’re undoubtedly focused on what is going on to occur.
In the meantime, remakes of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 are all heading to the Change 2 on fifteenth October 2026.
