Capcom Says Resident Evil Spin-Offs Are Off the Table for Now

Capcom does not have much room for a new Resident Evil spin-off right now. Producer Masachika Kawata said the team is putting its available resources into new entries such as Resident Evil Requiem and the franchise’s remakes.

Kawata discussed the state of the series’ side stories in a Nintendo Everything interview. He acknowledged that some fans want more spin-off games, but said Capcom’s current projects are taking priority.

“Maybe there are a lot of people out there who would like to see more spinoff titles or such, but honestly, the team is giving everything it has right now, working on things like our new entries like Requiem or remakes. So honestly, at the moment, that’s where our efforts [are] being focused. We are so focused on pouring our energy into that, I don’t think there’s a whole lot left right now for a spinoff.”

Resident Evil’s Spin-Off Gap Continues

The franchise has spent recent years centered on mainline releases, remakes, and multiplayer projects. Resident Evil: Revelations 2, released in 2015, is the latest lore-focused spin-off referenced in the discussion, while Umbrella Corps was the last spin-off with a notable single-player component.

Capcom is also managing several major series beyond Resident Evil, including Monster Hunter, PRAGMATA, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. That wider schedule helps explain why the producer does not see a new spin-off arriving soon.

The company’s current Resident Evil plans include continued support for Requiem and further remakes. A Code Veronica remake has also been tied to the franchise’s ongoing plans, leaving little indication that a separate spin-off is close to production.
