In an interview with Yahoo Japan, Capcom's executive producer Jun Takeuchi revealed that the Resident Evil series has a predetermined story that could come to an end within the next decade. Takeuchi explained that during the planning stages for Resident Evil 2 Remake, the team crafted a 10-year branding concept for the series. He stated, "If you play through all of them, I think you'll realize the meaning behind the order of the remakes."
Takeuchi added that the first 10 years of the series have come to a close with the release of Requiem, suggesting that the conclusion will arrive in the next 10 years. This news may be disappointing for hardcore fans who hoped to continue playing as Leon and other beloved characters, but it also means that multiple new titles will still be released in the interim.
Resident Evil has been a major success for Capcom, with Resident Evil 2 Remake being the best-selling game in the franchise and becoming a significant factor in console sales within Japan. The company's top sellers in the past six months include Resident Evil 4, RE3, and Requiem, indicating strong popularity for the series.
