Capcom Confirms Next ‘Resident Evil’ Game in Development
In a shock to absolutely no one, Capcom confirmed during their Capcom Next event that they are indeed working on a new Resident Evil game. Director Koshi Nakanishi (who previously directed Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 7) uttered the short but sweet phrase, “We’re making a new Resident Evil.”
During the announcement that Resident Evil 7 would be coming to Apple devices tomorrow, Nakanishi chatted about his history with the franchise. In doing so, he revealed that Capcom was working on the next entry in the series, insinuating his involvement. “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.”
Nakanishi declined to share details on the next entry, but hopes fans will be excited for the day he does reveal those details.
This of course comes back to those rumours that were floating around last month, ranging from this ninth entry, to Capcom remaking the remake of the original, and even remakes of Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil Code: Veronica. Obviously, those rumours are to be taken with the usual salt until Nakanishi gives up the goods.
Meanwhile, Resident Evil 7 will arrive on the App Store on July 2 for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and every iPad and Mac with the M1 chip or later, with the Resident Evil 2 remake coming soon.
Resident Evil 7 is also available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
