According to the document the following games are in the making:
According to the document,Resident Evilenthusiasts will have a new game to look forward to each year from 2021 - 2024. It was recently leaked that matchmaking is in the works forResident Evil 8, so perhaps that is what “Resident Evil Outrage” is.Resident Evil 4, a fan favorite, is potentially getting a remake in 2022.Resident Evil 4is often named one of the best video games after winning multiple Game of the Year awards in 2005. Other projects shown on the document include “Biohazard Apocalypse” and “Resident Evil Hank.” WithResident Evilbeing Capcom’s flagship franchise, it is no surprise that they would have multiple games expected to release in the future.
The leak also revealed a potential sequel toDragon’s Dogma. The firstDragon’s Dogmawas released in 2012 for PS3 and Xbox 360, and since its release many fans have questioned a sequel to the hack and slash game. The director ofDragon’s Dogma, Hideaki Itsuno, mentioned the possibility of aDragon’s Dogma 2as far back as 2012, so it is possible that asequel to the cult classicmay be released in the future.
Another win for Capcom fans, is that the next installment totheMonster Hunterfranchiseappears to be slated for 2023. The most recent release in the series,Monster Hunter: Worldbecame Capcom’s best selling game in September 2020.
