While details about the upcoming game remain scarce, the announcement has already ignited anticipation among fans worldwide, eager to see how Nakanishi will continue to innovate within the survival horror genre.

Capcom's previous entry in the series, Resident Evil Village, released in 2021, achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success. By March 2024, the game had sold over 10 million units globally, underscoring the series' enduring appeal and Capcom's prowess in delivering compelling gaming experiences.

Furthermore, Capcom Next unveiled plans for Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, scheduled for release on September 19. This remaster promises enhanced graphics, including improved character models, textures, and lighting, alongside quality-of-life improvements such as auto-saving and refined controls.

These enhancements aim to rejuvenate the beloved open-world zombie action game for modern platforms, including PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S.

Capcom's commitment to quality and innovation in gaming remains evident, ensuring that the legacy of the Resident Evil franchise continues to thrive.
