There is a lingering sense amongst followers, nonetheless, that sooner or later 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. Effectively, apparently it’s! In line with Jun Takeuchi, not less than.

In a publish from RENEWS on X (thanks, The Gamer), Takeuchi, who has been with the collection for the reason that very starting and now serves as govt 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 collection is being developed alongside two tracks: the numbered titles enable gamers to expertise the continuing story of the collection, whereas the remake collection permits them to expertise the previous. Sometime, the remake collection will meet up with the period of the numbered titles, and we’re already serious about what we’ll do when that occurs.

As for this ‘crossover’, we think about such an occasion remains to be not less than a decade or so away, however we’re positively keen on what is going on to occur.
