Resident Evil Could Finally Head to Japan in a Future Entry
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
According to Resident Evil Requiem producer Masato Kumazawa, future entries in Capcom's iconic horror franchise could finally take the series to Japan.
For three decades, Capcom has sent players to terrifying locales around the globe. While the franchise started in fictional American environments like Raccoon City and later branched out to rural Louisiana, the Spanish countryside, and snowy European villages, the iconic survival horror series has never actually been set in Capcom's home country of Japan. That might change in a future installment, according to recent comments from Resident Evil Requiem producer Masato Kumazawa.
Moving the outbreak to a Japanese setting offers massive potential for atmosphere and environmental storytelling. Dense urban environments, historic temples, and quiet suburban neighborhoods could provide an entirely different kind of tension compared to the sprawling rural compounds of recent titles. Given how effectively Capcom has reinvented the franchise's tone and pacing across generations, a home-turf entry feels like a natural evolution for the series.
Players will likely have to wait a while before any official announcement, as the next major entry is still years away. Even so, the prospect of navigating a bioweapon disaster through distinctly Japanese architecture is an exciting direction for long-time fans and newcomers alike.
