Hopefully not another light gun game
Hold on a sec: Wouldn’t aResident Evilgame calledUmbrella Corpsebe the most exciting thing to happen to the series sinceResident Evil 4? You can have that one for free, Capcom. (Kidding, pay me.)
Capcom has trademarked “Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps” in Europe and Japan. It was initially spotted as just “Umbrella Corps,” signalling spin-off, but DualShockers spotted it trademarked in Japan as, “Biohazard Umbrella Corps” (Biohazardbeing the series’ original name in Japan). The latter could still be a spinoff, obviously, and registration under additional platforms, like “portable consoles with LCD screens,” “TV Home Consoles” and Mobile could complicate things (unless that’s just a bases covering move).
We are obviously a way’s away from thesales failurethat isResident Evil 6at this point, though.Resident Evil 7should happen soon, unless all the HD remakes and offbrandResident Evil Revelations 2means Capcom just has cold feet about the series.
It was four years betweenResident Evil 4and theawfulResident Evil 5, likely accounting for a new console generation of tech and a general lack of ideas, and three years betweenRE5andRE6. It’s now been almost three years sinceRE6without word of a follow up.
