So a Twitter user/Youtuber by the name The Resident of Evil has recently posted about a leak from Dusk Golem that everyone has been talking about for the past week or so that claims there are currently 5 Resident Evil games in development, with several of them having been greenlit in the last year, including multiple remakes.
This isn't an uncommon practice for Capcom with this series, which according to Dusk Golem, at one point in 2018 Capcom was simultaneously working on Resident Evil 2, 3, Village, 4, and I may be mistaken but also RE9. Given the series' release pattern, RE9 is all but expected to be the next release within the next year, so the cycle repeating itself isn't exactly surprising.
However, The Resident of Evil has expressed annoyance with the Resident Evil community for viewing Dusk Golem as the soul credible leaker for the series as he claims to have known about Capcom's Resident Evil road map since August of last year and had even made a community post on his YouTube channel in October sharing the exact same information that has only become news after Dusk Golem has shared it. He also claims he knows at least 4 other YouTubers in Capcom's inner circle who were made aware of this information who likely refuse to leak anything due to potentially losing contact with their source at Capcom.
If this is to be believed, which his community post is still up as of October of last year, in the comments, he responds to a user confirming that Code Veronica is indeed in development but refuses to reveal anything else. However, a recent interview from IGN with the producer of the Resident Evil 4 remake paints an interesting picture. When asked whether Darkside Chronicles was canon, he confirms that Operation Javier is in fact canon to the main story, but that the events of the mission in the remake are indeed different but can't share any details outside of what is said in game.
The implication here is that because he can't share details regarding the remake's version of Operation Javier, that they must be working on some Operation Javier related project that will shed light on the events. It's definitely a possibility, but it could also be unlikely. However, if we take into consideration that Code Veronica is being remade, perhaps Operation Javier along with it seeing as they both deal with the T-Veronica virus.
Whether it's DLC or a separate game, the idea of Capcom revisiting side stories of the past and turning them into entirely original projects is fascinating as they'll no longer be considered remakes at that point, giving a break to the constant remakes and allowing for the narrative of the original games to grow more organically than they did in the past. With the Revelations series being all but forgotten and the number of games left to remake only getting smaller, I actually don't mind this direction for the series, especially if the newer mainline games are going to continue making drastic shifts to the series.
So what do you guys make of these "leaks" and rumors and what do you think these supposed 5 games are?
