Overview
- Jun Takeuchi, Resident Evil executive producer, says the franchise now runs on two parallel tracks: new numbered titles that push the ongoing story and a remake series that revisits the past.
- Takeuchi says Capcom has been seeding legacy elements such as Umbrella, Spencer, and Raccoon City since Resident Evil Village and Requiem to prepare for an eventual crossover between the two tracks.
- Company planning includes thinking ahead for the moment remakes 'catch up' to the era of the numbered games and how to handle a merged continuity.
- Reports identify a Code/Resident Evil Veronica remake in development with casting details and a possible 2027 target, but that project has not been formally confirmed by Capcom and other rumored remakes remain unverified.
- The two-track approach grew out of the post-Resident Evil 7 strategy that revived remakes, and it signals Capcom intends a long-term plan for storytelling and future releases rather than isolated projects.
