When Capcom released Resident Evil 7, the game was met with a lot of positive reviews namely because it seems that Capcom has returned to the game’s survival horror roots. However if you were hoping that the next Resident Evil title will follow in the footsteps of Resident Evil 7, you might be disappointed.
In the latest “Make of” video for Resident Evil 7 that was released today, the game’s executive producer Jun Takeuchi revealed that the studio is already thinking of the future and how they might evolve the Resident Evil franchise. “In the next few years, technology will continue to advance and what players want may also change, but we will always want to create horror experiences where the characters overcome a difficult situation.”
Takeuchi goes on to add, “Plans for the next title are already in motion and, when you see that game, you may find that it is very different from Resident Evil 7 in some ways, while still retaining that core survival horror concept of people overcoming the odds. Resident Evil will always retain that essence.”
Different might not necessarily be a bad thing, although we guess it remains to be seen how Capcom will pull that off. In any case we still have no idea when the next Resident Evil title will be released so until then, gamers will just have to remain patient. In the meantime how do you guys think Capcom should evolve the Resident Evil franchise?
