New Resident Evil game in development, directed by Koshi Nakanishi

"It feels substantial," Nakanishi teases.

A new Resident Evil game is currently in development and is directed by Koshi Nakanishi, Capcom revealed.

“We’re making a new Resident Evil,” Nakanishi said at the end of today’s Capcom Next: Summer 2024 program. “It was really difficult to figure out what to do after [Resident Evil 7 biohazard]. But I found it, and to be honest, it feels substantial. I can’t share any details just yet, but I hope you’re excited for the day I can.”

Nakanishi previously worked on Resident Evil 5 as a designer, and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, Resident Evil: Revelations, and Resident Evil 7 biohazard as director.

Further details were not announced.
