    They are, but five of them? It seems like they’re ready and willing to kill current goodwill in respect to their games by stepping on the gas instead of realizing why people suddenly liked the games again.

      The past few years have had at least four reaident evil games in development at the same time.

      Re3make, 4make, village, that weird multiplayer one all going at the same time. It’s really not as unusual as you are making it seem. People like resident evil more than ever right now.

      I imagine the situation is similar to this, but maybe mobile or switch games involved.

      Considering the glacial pace of modern AAA game development, I don’t think it’s odd that they want multiple games in development at the same time to ensure a steady release schedule.

      We don’t really know what these five games are (if they really exist at all), but if they diversify the offer with a mix of first person, third person, remakes of old titles and maybe yet-another-attempt-at-bad-online-RE-that-nobody-wants, which is what they’ve done so far (RE7, RE2make, RE3make, Resistance, RE8, RE4make), I think it’s a good thing.

      The Yakuza team, to release games so frequently (like 1-2 a year) has small teams work on multiple games at once. So like the minigame team may be building games for all of them in a year.

      It could be similar with Capcom.

      I’m guessing those 5 games include at least a few spinoffs in different genres. Although we saw how well that worked out for Umbrella Corps.

      Don’t worry, I’m sure at least 2 of them are RE 4 remakes
