Capcom have already hinted at something large coming, really. Concluding week, they mentioned that a total scale offensive would happen in the 2nd half of the yr; this fits completely with the latest fiscal report, where the company announced to anticipate higher sales and profits due to the global release of "major new titles".

In particular, one of those is expected to sell iv million units and this could be Resident Evil 7, while another is forecasted at 2 million units sold. Information technology's hard to say which game the latter could be - perhaps a new Devil May Cry or Dead Ascent entry, unless it's an older or brand new IP.

Resident Evil 6, the last mainline franchise entry, originally released in Oct 2022 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. If Resident Evil seven released in Oct 2022, information technology would be four years later instead of the three and a half passed between Resident Evil 5 and 6 - hopefully that will interpret into a more polished product.

Capcom is also working on a full remake of Resident Evil 2, by the way; expect to hear more on both projects at E3 2022.
