Capcom plans multiple Resident Evil titles to end story in next 10 years
Creative director Jun Takeuchi says the series' conclusion will unfold across several games rather than a single title, according to Polygon.
Capcom's Jun Takeuchi, creative director of the Resident Evil franchise, said multiple new Resident Evil titles are planned over the next 10 years to bring the series' story to a conclusion, according to Polygon, which cited an interview with Yahoo Japan.
Takeuchi said the conclusion of the story will arrive within the next decade, and that it will not be told in a single game but spread across several titles. He also said the release of Resident Evil Requiem this year closes the series' first 10 years.
According to Takeuchi, the storylines of the Resident Evil remakes were slightly altered from the originals, and those differences gradually become meaningful. He said players will understand the meaning behind the order of the remakes by playing through all of them.
He added that the series' story was not planned from the beginning and expanded with each new game. The first Resident Evil released three decades ago, with the franchise marking its 30th anniversary in 2026.
