Forum moderator Resetet under the nickname Dusk golem, who proved himself to be true insider about the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, shared on Twitter the information available to him about the eighth part of the Capcom horror series and other publishing projects.
It is reported that the development Resident evil 8 started in late 2016, but in 2017 the project paused, because then Capcom considered it necessary to transfer part of the resources to the DLC for RE7 and a remake of RE2, the production of which was behind the schedule. This iteration of RE8 was under development for several years, but about 6-7 months ago, production was restarted, so the “final” version is no more than a year. An insider noted that the creation of restarts usually proceeds faster due to the availability of ready-made developments, but in the near future the release of Resident Evil 8 is definitely not worth the wait.
Also in the next few years there will be no new remakes of Resident Evil. Instead, Capcom will focus on restarting several other titles using the engine. RE Engine. Announcements are just around the corner.
However, Capcom is not going to postpone the series for a long time. Next year, the company is likely to release another Resident Evil, which will be neither a remake nor an eighth. Dusk Golem has no details about it.
Finally, the informant also mentioned a couple of new games in the series. Silent hill. According to him, about two years ago Konami asked some third-party developers to share ideas for two Silent Hill games, one of which should be a soft reset of the franchise, and the other with an episodic story in the style of Until Dawn and Telltale Games projects. He emphasized that he did not know how the fate of these projects had developed since then, expressing the hope that Konami was able to choose the right developers for them and was not stingy with the budget.
“This is just an assumption, but I would say that there is a big chance that one or both of these titles will be revealed this year, so we’ll see. In fact, I do not know the plans of the company or anything else about games, except the very fact of their existence. I don’t have much information about Konami’s internal work, “said the insider.
Last time, Konami tried to return Silent Hill with the help of Hideo Kojima in 2014, however, due to a conflict with the developer, the production of the game was minimized.
