Since the release of the Resident Evil 2 remake in 2019, Capcom has found a very lucrative formula. The Japanese company has already remade the third and fourth installments of the series. Resident Evil Veronica will follow suit starting in 2027.

In an interview with Game Informer, producer Masachika Kawata revealed that the remakes allow Capcom to maintain a steady release schedule by putting out nearly one Resident Evil title per year.

"Being able to revisit older games and remake them helps Capcom meet that goal of releasing a Resident Evil title each year, but it also allows the team to continually challenge themselves and hone their craft. That’s not to say the remakes are any less important. In fact, they’re just as important as the mainline titles."

Kawata also added that the success of the remakes allows the company’s teams to invest in other projects, including brand-new franchises like Pragmata.

"Capcom is lucky enough to have found this cycle that can continue to provide us with the financial resources to create things like new entries in the Resident Evil series and completely new IP like Pragmata. So there is that relationship there."
