Capcom Has An Intriguing Plan For When Its Resident Evil Remakes Catch Up With The New Games

Key Points:

• Capcom is preparing for a future where Resident Evil remakes catch up to the new numbered titles, with development teams gradually planning for this eventuality since Resident Evil Village.
• Executive producer Jun Takeuchi revealed that the series is being developed on two tracks: numbered titles that continue the story and remakes that revisit the past, with plans for a crossover event hinted at through elements like Umbrella, Spencer, and Raccoon City.
• The inclusion of crossover elements began as fan service in Resident Evil 7 but was expanded due to strong positive fan reactions, influencing further development in Village and Requiem.
• Upcoming remakes likely include Resident Evil Veronica and possibly the original Resident Evil, with potential future remakes of Resident Evil 5 and 6, despite their mixed reception among fans.
• The proposed crossover event between the remake and numbered series is expected to be a long-term project, possibly a decade away, but fans are eager to see how Capcom will execute this plan.
