Capcom Puts Resident Evil Revelations on Ice for the Foreseeable Future
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Capcom has confirmed that there are no current plans to develop a new entry in the Resident Evil Revelations spin-off series, leaving the franchise on hold over a decade after the release of Revelations 2.
If you have been holding out hope for a return to the episodic storytelling of the Resident Evil Revelations sub-series, Capcom has some disappointing news. According to a recent interview with a lead developer, the publisher currently has no plans to develop a new entry in the spin-off franchise. It has been over a decade since Resident Evil Revelations 2 wrapped up its episodic run in 2015, leaving fans of the side stories wondering if the sub-series had quietly reached the end of the line.
For a long time, the Revelations games served as a fascinating testing ground for Capcom. They allowed the development teams to experiment with different narrative structures, focus on fan-favorite characters who sat out the main numbered entries, and deliver survival horror experiences that bridged the gaps between massive tentpole releases. While Capcom is clearly not slowing down its overall output, with a new remake slated for 2027 and plenty of projects in the pipeline, spin-offs of this specific scale are evidently not part of the immediate roadmap.
For the community, this update closes the book on a beloved corner of the franchise, at least for now. Modern gaming schedules are packed with massive live service titles and sweeping RPGs, so there is always a certain charm to a tighter, more focused single player campaign like Revelations provided. As Capcom shifts its focus toward its larger upcoming projects, players will just have to replay the classics and wait to see what surprises the publisher shares later this summer.
