Nintendo Everything • • technology
Key Points:
- Capcom’s Masachika Kawata explained that Resident Evil remakes help the company release a new title annually while allowing the development team to refine their skills and maintain quality.
- Remakes are considered just as important as mainline entries and provide financial support for new projects, including entirely new IPs like Pragmata.
- The focus on main series games and remakes has limited resources for spin-offs, which is why fewer spin-off titles have been produced recently.
- Resident Evil Requiem was released earlier this year and is playable on the Nintendo Switch 2, with a Resident Evil Veronica remake scheduled for 2027 on the same platform.
