“We’re now not at a state to talk about it”, said Capcom producer Masachika Kawata to Dengeki PlayStation Magazine, “but please stay tuned”. The following year, 2013, a resume surfaced in which the worker had stated she’d done a few work on the unannounced seventh installment game. Another neat Resident Evil touch is opening shutters, something you do gradually. Umbrella Corps is an online multiplayer shooter game set to be released sometime in early 2016. “And of course I believe that we should produce titles that bring out the horror”.

Kawata also addressed a question revolving around the idea that Resident Evil as a franchise has slowly moved away from its horror roots into more action territory. ” When asked about possible new instalments in the Devil May Cry and Dragon’s Dogma franchises, he was less positive, saying “They’re also things I’d like to personally do, but there are no plans for now“.
