Resident Evil executive producer Jun Takeuchi expects the series' story to reach a conclusion within the next 10 years, with multiple games still to come. His comments describe a narrative plan connecting remakes and new entries, not an announcement that Capcom is ending the franchise.
Speaking to Kyodo News in an interview published October 24, Takeuchi explained that planning for the Resident Evil 2 remake included a 10-year branding strategy. He regards this year's Resident Evil Requiem as the end of that first phase and expects the next decade to bring a resolution.
The remakes are part of that plan. Takeuchi said their gradual changes to the original stories will become meaningful, and that playing them all should reveal a reason behind the order in which they were remade. He also suggested they would give players a fuller understanding of Spencer, the figure behind the series' events.
He discussed the Code: Veronica remake, due in 2027, in that context. Its story follows Chris and Claire, and Takeuchi said the remake should make clearer how those events fit into the wider series. The team behind the Resident Evil 4 remake is handling it, according to the interview.
Requiem already connects a new protagonist to that history. Capcom's official story synopsis pairs FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft with Raccoon City survivor Leon S. Kennedy as they investigate deaths in the Midwest and uncover the truth behind the Raccoon City incident. Grace's mother, Alyssa, also survived that outbreak before her later murder.
Takeuchi did not identify a final game, give a release schedule or specify which characters' stories would end. Asked how many new games would arrive over the next decade, he declined to give a number but said there would be more than one.
Resident Evil Requiem launched on February 27, 2026. It is available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2; Takeuchi's comments do not establish platforms for the future games.
