There were a surprising amount of Resident Evil games released in 2012. Capcom published Revelations in late January, Operation Raccoon City in May, and closed out the year with Resident Evil 6 in October. Don’t forget: The Mercenaries also launched in June of 2011.

The amount of titles released during the past couple of years may have been a bit too much, according to Resident Evil: Revelations producer Masachika Kawata:

“I think certainly looking at the last year or two, there probably were a few too many. I think we learned last year that putting on a lot of titles would not necessarily win over gamers. At the same time, I don’t think we should just stagger them out artificially because that’s the solution to the problem we have. We should always start by asking how do we make the games better. And if the solution to making the games better is to have a more staggered release than we’ve had recently then that’s something we’ll do. But we’ll do it for that reason and not just for flipping what we’ve done already.”

Resident Evil fans can look forward to one more entry this year, though it’s updated version of the 3DS title Revelations.

Onimusha and Dino Crisis have been dormant for many, many years (we’re not counting Onimusha Soul, by the way!). Fans have occasionally requested the return of both series, but Capcom isn’t heading in that direction for now.

Resident Evil: Revelations producer Masachika Kawata, who was involved with both franchises in the past, noted that “it’s more important for us to focus on creating new IP as we move forward.”

He said:

“Capcom has obviously never shied away from bringing back our older IPs to new generations, but I do think it’s more important for us to focus on creating new IP as we move forward.”
