Resident Evil Requiem put the power of nostalgia on full display with the return of longtime hero Leon Kennedy and with Raccoon City as a delightfully dilapidated playground, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a Resident Evil fan that hasn't fantasized about a future entry based in Japan, where developer Capcom is based. According to Resident Evil Requiem producer Masato Kumazawa, everyone at Capcom has considered the possibility too, and nothing's off the table at this point.
"I think a Japanese setting is something every Japanese Resident Evil fan has though about, and I've also considered it myself," says Kumazawa in an interview with Japanese publication Futaman (translated by Automaton).
