Capcom has already stated that they have a great announcement prepared for around June 10 with the Resident Evil saga as the main protagonist. It is possible that it is a new video game; but right now we don’t know. In addition, they have also recognized that for the 25th anniversary of the saga in 2021 we can expect great news.
