Capcom aren't just running out of Resident Evil games to remake - they're banking on it, with a mysterious "crossover" planned when the timelines collide

Capcom executive producer Jun Takeuchi said in an anniversary book interview that the remake series will eventually catch up with the era of the numbered titles, and the company has been preparing since around Resident Evil Village for some kind of "crossover" when the two tracks intersect. He cited the appearance of names like Umbrella and Spencer and the return of Raccoon City in Resident Evil Requiem as part of that setup, which began as fan service but drew a stronger response than expected.
