Capcom has been riding the crest of Resident Evil's resurgence for over 5 years now. Ever since RE7 kicked off the survival horror franchise's modern-era reboot and returned to its roots in 2017, the series has seen a string of successful releases that were both critically praised and highly commercially profitable. Along with RE7 and RE Village, the remakes of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 have contributed greatly to its rise and ongoing popularity, and fans have been waiting with bated breath to see how the studio will continue capitalizing on its achievement.
