Capcom’s Jun Takeuchi has admitted that he doesn’t expect to head a possible sixth installment in the popular survival horror franchise, a sentiment also shared by his fellow Resident Evil 5 co-producer, Masachika Kawata.
Speaking at the San Diego Comic Con this week, Takeuchi said, “it doesn’t appear as though either of us is going to be in charge,” before humorously remarking that both he and Kawata were "playing blackjack to decide who is going to be stuck with the responsibility".
The most recent entry in the series, Resident Evil 5, hit shops in March 2009 and eventually went on to shift a staggering five million copies worldwide, making it the most successful RE title to date. Talk on a follow up has been floating around the web over the past couple of months, with many fans anticipating a complete series revamp. Despite this, Capcom has yet to reveal anything concrete on the matter.
Stay tuned.
