## Key points

- Takeuchi’s comments concern the current storyline, not the whole series.
- Capcom expects the remakes and new games to converge.
- The franchise has sold 218 million copies.

## Summary

Headlines suggesting that *Resident Evil* could end within the next decade misread comments by Capcom executive producer Jun Takeuchi. He was referring to the conclusion of the franchise’s current storyline, not the end of the series, which Capcom could continue with new stories and games.

Takeuchi said the story developed game by game and that the first ten years of its branding concept have now concluded, with a resolution expected in the next decade. Capcom has discussed a future crossover between new games and remakes as they catch up. The series has sold 218 million copies, including 8.5 million for *Resident Evil Requiem*; *Resident Evil 2* has passed 20 million sales.
