Resident Evil 10 Officially Confirmed By Capcom

James is a gaming writer from London who has spent thousands of hours exploring titles from every genre. Though he has a particular affinity for multiplayer titles like World of Warcraft, Destiny 2 and League of Legends, he has also put thousands of hours into single-player experiences, from deep RPGs to epic PC strategies. When he's not playing or writing, he can usually be found supporting his beloved Brentford FC.

With so many major video game anniversaries being celebrated this year, it's easy to forget that Resident Evil is among them, with a staggering 3 decades since the release of the first game in the beloved franchise. The series is back in vogue right now thanks to some stellar titles in recent years, most recently Requiem, which showed what a game focused on both action and stealth could be like.

Over the last few years, it has certainly felt like Capcom has been building towards something quite specific rather than just treading water and bringing players new experiences within the IP. Now, we have had confirmation from the developer themselves about what exactly they plan to do in the coming years, and it's safe to say the fans should be in for a very exciting time if all of it comes to fruition.

As first reported by Polygon, Yahoo Japan sat down with the Resident Evil franchise's creative director, Jun Takeuchi, and he laid out exactly what the timeline is going to look like for the series moving forward, as well as giving us an idea of what their plans are for the overarching narrative.

"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," Takeuchi said. "I can't say because it would spoil the fun for everyone, but there won't be just one. There will be multiple titles."

That's obviously brilliant news in and of itself, as if we get several titles of Requiem's quality in the next few years, then we could arguably be entering a golden era for the series. Interestingly, Takeuchi also made it clear that the remakes we have seen so far have been deliberately chosen to facilitate the story from here, and they have made subtle changes to bring that on further.

"We've always slightly altered the original storylines in our RE remakes. These differences gradually become meaningful. I hope you'll look forward to seeing the true nature of Spencer (the mastermind behind the series)," he said. "The series' story wasn't planned out from the beginning; it expanded with each new game. When we were planning "RE:2" (the remake of 2) and creating a 10-year branding concept, this was the most challenging aspect. If you play through all of them, I think you'll realize the meaning behind the order of the remakes."

They are certainly interesting tidbits, even if he wouldn't be drawn on the specifics of what is to come yet. It does sound like we might not be too far away from another announcement at the very least, with most expecting that to be a full reveal of the now confirmed Code Veronica remake.

Given Resident Evil's importance to the video game ecosystem as a whole, particularly in the late-90s and early-2000s, it is really nice to see it become so relevant to fans again. It has certainly been through some ups and downs as a series over the years, but it's absolutely on a more certain footing now than it has been in some time, and that can only be encouraging for the future.

Horror franchise Resident Evil started off as an acclaimed survival horror video game series on the Sony PlayStation, with new entries released for each subsequent console generation. Outside of games, the hit franchise includes feature films, a TV show, comics, and novels.
