Capcom has been on a roll with both the mainline Resident Evil entries and a consistent release of remakes. However, could the series be coming to an end? While that seems unlikely, according to executive producer Jun Takeuch i, the current RE story may end sooner than many may expect.

In an interview with Yahoo Japan (and roughly translated by IGN ), Takeuch i stated that, with the release of Resident Evil Requiem , he believes that the conclusion of the main story may come in the next 10 years. “With the release of Requiem this year, I feel like the first 10 years have come to a close, so I think the conclusion will come in the next 10 years.”

The “first 10 years” is a reference to the release of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard in 2017 (for the main series) and Resident Evil 2 remake (for the remake series) in 2019, not the entire franchise, as the first game was released in 1996.

Takeuchi also stated that the series’ story was not planned out from the beginning.…
