Resident Evil Executive Producer Says the Series' Story Could End 'In the Next 10 Years'

In an interview with Yahoo Japan, executive producer Jun Takeuchi outlined Capcom’s plans for its flagship horror franchise, revealing that its encompassing narrative has a definite conclusion — and that end could come shockingly soon. Takeuchi began by explaining how the team had expanded on Resident Evil’s overarching story with every game, saying that a ten-year strategy was crafted during the planning stages for Resident Evil 2 Remake. When we were planning RE:2 and creating a 10-year branding concept, this was the most challenging aspect. Resident Evil 2 Remake is the best-selling game in the franchise, and its most recent addition, Resident Evil Requiem, passed $500 million in revenue after releasing earlier this year, becoming a driving factor in console sales within Japan.
