Capcom Targets 1 Resident Evil Release a Year, Led by 2027 Veronica Remake

Summary
Capcom said its goal is to put out a Resident Evil game every year, using a mix of remakes and new mainline entries after 2026's RE9 Requiem.
2027's Resident Evil Veronica is the next confirmed release, and producer Masachika Kawata said remakes are as important as mainline games because they make that cadence achievable.
Kawata added that remake sales help finance newer Resident Evil titles and new IP such as Pragmata, giving Capcom a funding cycle for both franchise and original projects.
Spinoffs like Revelations or Outbreak are not a near-term priority, with development resources focused on mainline games, remakes and still-unreleased RE9 story DLC.
The annual plan remains a target rather than a guarantee, and Capcom's recent schedule already included gaps in 2024 and 2025 despite releases in 2019-2023, 2026 and 2027.
