Capcom Confirms The Next Resident Evil Game Is Now In Development
The director of RE7 will lead the project
Image: CapcomCapcom held a special summer broadcast earlier on and while the show was focused on three select games, there were some surprises. Towards the end of the presentation, Capcom confirmed a brand new Resident Evil game is now in development. Resident Evil 7 director Koshi Nakanishi shared the news, confirming he will lead the project:
Koshi Nakanishi: “We’re making a new Resident Evil”
He went on to admit, it was “really difficult to figure out what to do after 7” but he’s got an idea and thinks “it feels substantial”. Unfortunately, he “can’t share any details just yet” but is excited for when the team gets to that day. Although there’s no direct mention of the title, it seems this is likely a teaser for Resident Evil 9 following a bunch of rumours about it over the past year.
