Capcom is preparing for what comes next for its Resident Evil remake program as it nears the point where older entries will catch up with newer “numbered” games. Multiple outlets report that producer Jun Takeuchi acknowledges the remake track will eventually reach the same era as the mainline titles, leaving fewer older games left to modernize.
According to these accounts, Capcom has long considered contingency planning for that moment. Takeuchi describes this idea as having “two tracks” for Resident Evil: one focused on remakes of older games and another on newly developed entries. The outlets add that Capcom is already thinking about how to proceed when the timelines converge.
The reports differ in detail and speculation. Rock Paper Shotgun discusses a longer roadmap that includes entries such as Code Veronica and Resident Evil 0, and frames the concern as whether Capcom will run out of credibly remakable material before reaching the “modern era” associated with Resident Evil 7. Nintendo Life and Push Square emphasize the planning comments and the concept of a future “crossover” without focusing as heavily on specific release timing.
