[Dean Ambrose™]

Resident Evil has had a busy few years, not only because of the releases of installments VII and VIII but also because of the success of the Japanese in reviving old classics of the franchise such as the first four installments. Something that is leading the way for all those companies that seek to remake some of their hits from a few years ago with remakes.

What's more, these new Resident Evils have been so successful that the fourth is nominated for best title of the year in the 2023 edition of the Game Awards, so it is normal that when the river of possible releases that Capcom is working on sounds, it is It is logical that everyone speculates that we are on the verge of meeting a new member of the survival horror family.

Nothing at all from Code Veronica?
The fact is that after the release this year of Resident Evil 4, everyone began to speculate about what the new remake of the franchise would be and practically everyone was convinced that this step would be to bring Code Veronica to the present. One of the most iconic deliveries that first arrived at the beginning of the year 200 for that legendary console that was the SEGA Dreamcast.

So all these months we have been convinced that Resident Evil Code Veronica would be the new remake in progress, once it was ruled out that the controversial Resident Evil 5 could be in the pool. But unfortunately, neither one nor the other seems to appear on the horizon because Capcom's plans are, at this time, for other radically different scenarios. You know which one is?

Capcom explores other territories
This is more or less expressed by a social media user who is followed for offering very juicy exclusives from the world of gaming. His name is Dusk Golem, and he has come to say that we forget about seeing new Resident Evil in the short term, that is, throughout 2024, because the Japanese are focusing on exploring other possible franchises and opening new paths for the future. to the future.

What's more, in one of his latest messages he has made it clear that Capcom will announce before the end of the year a new project that everything indicates could be a new IP and that would reach stores before 2025. In this way, it would reduce the euphoria of those who believe that it could be a Resident Evil.

Now, if it is not a new saga, could it be a new Monster Hunter with an update to its graphics engine? Well, it could be, because the famous franchise will turn 20 years old in March 2024 and the Japanese want to celebrate it in style. And it wouldn't be the first time they have done it with one of their IPs which, as you know, they have been making us enjoy indiscriminately for 40 years. That's what it means to be one of the most established developers that exist and that has been with us since the dawn of the gaming world in the 80s.
