The well-known insider AestheticGamer, or Dusk Golem, has shared information about the future of the Resident Evil saga. According to his data, the interval between Resident Evil Requiem (code name for RE9) and the tenth installment would be shorter than usual. Development of RE10 is already underway, with a tentative release window around 2029, though it could be delayed until 2030-31. Additionally, he confirmed that Capcom is preparing DLC for RE Requiem that will continue its story.
The Accelerated Development Cycle with RE Engine ⚙️
The possible reduction in time between main installments suggests that Capcom has optimized its production pipeline. Mastery of the RE Engine, used since RE7, allows for efficient reuse and improvement of assets and systems. This approach, along with development teams working in parallel on different franchise projects, enables more agile creation cycles without compromising the solid technical foundation that characterizes recent games.
Planning the Scare of the Next Decade 😱
It's reassuring to know that, while we worry about inflation or climate change, Capcom already has planned what will make us scream in 2029. They think long-term: we don't know what we'll have for dinner tomorrow, and they already have the DLC for the game that hasn't been officially announced yet. That's reassuring, the fear is meticulously scheduled.
