Overview
- Producer Masato Kumazawa told Futaman on Monday that the Resident Evil development team has discussed the idea of setting a future game in Japan.
- Kumazawa framed the comment as internal consideration rather than a confirmed project by saying Japan “might make an appearance at some point in the future.”
- He said Capcom does not follow rigid timeline rules and adjusts settings and character ages to serve story and player immersion.
- Kumazawa noted a likely preference for a modern-day setting because it can feel more immersive, and outlets say a new mainline title is still likely several years away.
- Reports point to Konami’s Silent Hill F as a recent example of a major horror series relocating to Japan, and fans should watch for formal Capcom announcements or nearer-term remake news.
