Resident Evil-serien er som regel ret rodfæstet til USA, men naturligvis er der afstikkere, som placerer begivenhederne andetsteds. Og det kunne være at det blev i Japan en gang i fremtiden.
I et interview med Automaton-Media siger Masato Kumazawa, spillets producer, at det er en destination han har tænkt over før:
"I think a Japanese setting is something every Japanese Resident Evil fan has thought about, and I've also considered it myself. Since the development team is primarily based in Japan, I think every member has given it some thought. While Japan hasn't appeared as a game setting so far, it might make an appearance at some point in the future."
Vi ser dog frem til at høre mere om seriens mere umiddelbare fremtid snarest.
