Capcom Has the Next 10 Years of Resident Evil Mapped Out, Jun Takeuchi Says

Resident Evil's executive producer has revealed that Capcom has the next 10 years of the series mapped out. And no, Resident Evil is not ending.

In a new 30th anniversary interview, Jun Takeuchi said that Resident Evil Requiem marked the end of the first 10 year plan. His exact quote was: "I think things will be settled in the next 10 years."

Jun Takeuchi's comment is about one story arc, not the end of Resident Evil

That line made it sound like the whole series is wrapping up. But according to the leaker Dusk Golem, Takeuchi was only talking about one story arc, not the franchise. Takeuchi himself even said there will be "multiple games."

The first plan ran from RE7 through the remakes to Requiem

The first plan was Resident Evil 7, then the Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4 remakes, then Village and Requiem. Takeuchi said the order of those remakes had a meaning all along.

Takeuchi also teased a plot thread connecting Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 9. In his words: "I hope you're ready to learn about the true nature of Oswell Spencer."

Capcom's financial report still lists Veronica for 2027

On top of that, Capcom's new financial report still lists Veronica for 2027. Takeuchi says the team is revising two or three things to make it better, which lines up with earlier reporting we've heard.

My guess for the release is likely the first half of 2027. However, if those changes need a bit more time, I could see October 2027 being the release.
