Det lader til at Capcom har fået ret godt styr på Resident Evil-serien. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard var en enorm succes, og lige så var remaket Resident Evil 2. Vi kan stadig se frem til Resident Evil 3 der udkommer i april, men hvad med efterfølgende? Se det er et godt spørgsmål, og angiveligvis har det ikke været helt let for Capcom at udvikle det kommende Resident Evil 8.
Twitter-brugeren AestheticGamer, der tidligere har haft ret om netop Resident Evil-serien, har nemlig skrevet via Twitter, at udviklingen af Resident Evil 8 faktisk er blevet genstartet internt, efter at være kørt lidt i sænk.
"So yeah, Resident Evil 8 is years away. There was a version of RE8 that was in development since late 2016, though it went on pause during 2017 due to needing more hands on for RE7's DLC and RE2 (which was behind schedule at the time). Still, there was an RE8 version that was in the works for a few years. However, it actually got officially scrapped and the project rebooted only like 6-7 months ago, so the "final" RE8 version hasn't even been in development for a full year yet. Now these reboots often go faster because some assets and such are carried over, but don't expect RE8 anytime soon."
Desuden siger han, at der er et nyt spil i serien som hverken er 8 eller et nyt remake, der ankommer næste år.
