Can you imagine the day Resident Evil dies a death? Neither can we. The survival horror classic has been in some rough waters over the last decade or so, but it's never been without a fairly solid entry.
While main-line titles like Resident Evil 5 and 6 struggled to make a lasting impression in anything other than sales, the Revelations spin-offs offered long-time series fans more of what they wanted.
Then came Resident Evil 7. Dropping the action-oriented approach that made 5 and 6 sell well - yet be relatively hated by the wider community, Resident Evil 7 managed to capture both audiences - to a degree. With the franchise back on track, it's no surprise to hear the Capcom are hard at work on another game in the resilient series.
Resident Evil 7's 'Not A Hero' DLC Has Been Delayed - But Even More DLC Is Planned
The news was revealed in an interview conducted back in March with a translation only recently becoming available. In it, two Resident Evil directors - Revelation's Yasuhiro Anpo and RE7's Koshi Nakanishi - were quizzed about the series. While Nakanishi touched on his time developing Resident Evil 7, Anpo said "I can’t announce anything yet, but as of now, I’ve been developing a certain product," Anpo himself hasn't put anything out since Resident Evil: Revelations 2 in early 2015.
With a port of the original Revelations announced before this interview took place, we're led to believe this isn't what he's talking about. Resident Evil 2 was confirmed to be getting the remake treatment a number of years ago, too; so it shouldn't be that. What's Anpo working, do we think? Resident Evil 8? DLC? A port of Gaiden? We can dream, right?
