Amid celebrations for Resident Evil's 30th anniversary, executive producer Jun Takeuchi revealed what future plans Capcom had for the Resident Evil series, including what will happen after the devs run out of games to remake.

"The current 'Resident Evil' series is being developed along two tracks: the numbered titles allow players to experience the ongoing story of the series, while the remake series allows them to experience the past," Takeuchi says (via RENEWS). This isn't new information as Capcom has begun its huge remake project in 2019 (with the Resident Evil 2 remake) and has since gone on to give Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4 facelifts as well, with the next scheduled to be Code: Veronica.

"The current “Resident Evil” series is being developed along two tracks: the numbered titles allow players to experience the ongoing story of the series, while the remake series allows them to experience the past. Someday, the remake series will catch up with the era of the numbered titles, and we are already thinking about what we will do when that happens. ”One of the reasons we regard “7” as a turning point for the series is that it was also the title where we began working on this kind of setup. At first, we included these elements with the sense that they were fan service, but users were far more delighted by them than we had imagined, and they even began analyzing the thoughts that the development team had privately kept to itself.
