Resident Evil game development history

Overview

Information regarding the development of Resident Evil titles has emerged through official announcements and industry leaks. Capcom producer Masachika Kawata confirmed that Resident Evil Requiem was originally conceived as an online multiplayer game. However, following unfavorable research and testing results, the project pivoted back to a single-player horror experience. This shift influenced the final design, resulting in large, sandbox-like sections in Raccoon City.

Leaked details further suggest that a scrapped project, titled ‘Resident Evil: Apocalypse’, was intended to be an open-world single-player experience set on a fictional island in Singapore. This cancelled version was reportedly designed to feature a large ensemble cast, including Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Ada Wong, and Sheva Alomar, with a focus on action and vehicle traversal. Capcom reportedly decided to restart development to streamline the project, which led to the creation of Resident Evil Requiem. This transition resulted in a reduced number of protagonists, with Leon becoming the primary character and Jill Valentine being removed from the narrative.
