Capcom Isn’t Scrapping Resident Evil, but Mainline Story Could Wrap Up in Next 10 Years According to Producer
Resident Evil producer Jun Takeuchi has indicated that the mainline story of Capcom’s long-running survival horror franchise could reach its conclusion within the next 10 years. In a recent interview with 47 News, Takeuchi explained that with the release of Requiem this year, “the first 10 years have reached the end of a chapter,” suggesting the story’s conclusion will come in the following decade.
However, Takeuchi clarified that this does not mean Capcom plans to discontinue the Resident Evil series entirely. The statement appears to indicate a shift toward a new narrative chapter rather than a complete end to the franchise, reassuring fans concerned about the future of one of gaming’s most iconic horror properties.
The comment has prompted speculation among fans and media outlets about what direction the series might take once the current story arc concludes. Capcom has not provided additional details about potential spin-offs, remakes, or new directions the franchise might pursue following the conclusion of its mainline narrative.
