## Key points

- The mainline Resident Evil story could conclude within 10 years.
- Capcom still plans multiple new games.
- The franchise may continue beyond its main story.

## Summary

Resident Evil producer Jun Takeuchi says the series’ overarching mainline story could reach a conclusion in the next decade. His comments refer to a 10-year branding concept begun around the 2019 Resident Evil 2 remake, not a plan to stop making games.

That period has included remakes of Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4, as well as Village and Requiem; a remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica is due next year. Takeuchi said the next decade will bring both remakes and new games, with multiple new titles expected, though he gave no count. The franchise could continue beyond the main story’s conclusion with other characters, settings or films.
