Overview
- Jun Takeuchi, speaking in a 30th‑anniversary magazine published September 30, said Resident Evil is being developed on two tracks: new numbered entries for the ongoing story and a remake series that revisits the past.
- Takeuchi said Capcom began preparing for a future crossover around the time of Resident Evil Village and has been planting legacy references such as Umbrella, Spencer and Raccoon City to make a merge possible.
- Multiple outlets and fans read those comments as a strong hint that remakes of later mainline games like Resident Evil 5 and 6 could follow, but Takeuchi’s remarks describe planning rather than formally announcing specific remakes.
- Capcom’s near-term focus remains on the Code Veronica remake, which producers and reports place around 2027, while work on RE9 DLC and other projects continues to consume development resources.
- The remake strategy builds on the commercial success of earlier remakes and, if executed, could let Capcom modernize unreleased titles and fold older stories into a single, updated continuity for players.
