Resident Evil 6 “could take up to 8 years”
Speaking to The Gadget Show’s Jason Bradbury, Resident Evil 5’s producer Masachika Kawata has revealed that Resident Evil 6 could be in development for up to eight years.
When asked by The Gadget Show whether the timeframe between Resident Evil 5 and 6 will be similar to that of 4 and 5, Kawata replied:
“We haven’t decided whether we’re going to make Resident Evil 6 yet. But if we do, it could take anywhere up to eight years, but hopefully only four.”
Resident Evil 5 released just under two weeks ago, and while we didn’t think it was quite as good as Resi 4, its spot at the top of the charts proved that you all love it.
And with Capcom claiming that Resi 5 set the franchise up for a new direction, a sixth has to be on the cards, doesn’t it?

what? gears of war 2 only took 2 yrs and its amazing they can do it too
Well, Gears of War 2 is on the same Engine as GoW1 – modded yes, but the same engine. Whereas Capcom like to have a new engine for each new Resident Evil game. So basically the next game will be on their next generation engine, just like DMC4 and RE5 were on teh same engine.
Chances are They’ll announce a new Resi in teh works either next year or in two years time and it’ll be finished 3-4 years after that.
this one would really look fuking awesome on a ps4
I read in the may issue of the official playstation mag that 4 player’s coop is not out of the question in future installments. That would be a bit hectic though i think they found a good balence with the 2 player coop and should stick with it. Maybe put a 4 player coop in mercs mode but 4 players in the story with 4 characters having to have lines in cutscenes, and 2 extra people to divide ammo between it just would not work. I know they will have improved graphics thats a given. Characters are a thing to given they just used chris in re5, and leon was in re4 i’m expecting a female protagonist next round. Jill, claire, and let’s not forget rebecca i’d love to see her in another game. they might decide to use carlos he would continue the trend of badass male leads, and he could make a good lead character. i would prefer one of the girl’s i mentioned though i miss playing as them.
Come on 8 years maybe 4 i cant wait that long dammm it takes the mick and it must be a really long game and to all the metal gear solid fans out there, there is talk about number 5 fingers crossed but no solid snake
Eight years! That sucks. I really hope its 3 or 4 years. And if they do make a resident evil 6 i hope Claire is in it.
4-8 years is too long, i just hope that it’s worth the wait, just like Resident Evil 5.
My Brother Loves Chris Redfield, and he wont’s him in Resident Evil 6, But i think that Resident Evil 6 should have the all main Chracters like Leon Scott Kenerdy, Chris Redfield and his Sister Clair, in it.
I wish Wesker Did’nt Die in Resident Evi 5, he was cool.
Or Maybe Resident Evil 6 should have a ‘New Main Character’
If the People who made RE5 Had problems making it, they should get people to give them some ideas on what they think should be in RE6.
i think that there should be a Chris Redfield in Resident Evil 6, the story could be…….
Chris Redfield, Sheva and Jill return from Africa, and decide to go to the BSAA HQ, Soon after they arrive, a Destress signal is sent to them by a Small town, like Racoon City, , the virus went air-boarn, and infected the town closes to Racoon City, so the first BSAA unit is sent in, 5 hours after they arrive they dont reply to the BSAA captin, so the BSAA calls the President, the President relpy”I’ll send in my best Man” after the captin finishes talking to the president, he goes into the locker rooms, and see’s Chris, Sheva and Jill chillin out, the captin saids ‘Gear up, got another problem, chris, sheva and jill reply ‘ not again’, when they get to the town, they see two people fighting off a swam of zombies, when the chopper lands Chris, Sheva and Jill, start to help the two people, when the zombies are dead, the two people turn around, and it Leon and Clair…….
what do u think.
I like Altiear’s idea for the storyline of how it starts. (8 years seems too long lol.) re5 started being made a year after re4 which released in 2004. there was no such thing as a ps3 yet at tht time. so u got a ps3 and xbox 360 it should take at least half the time it took make five. i would also like to see it as tagteam co-op type of thing. different groups of two ppl from the past games:
Chris and Jill
Claire and Sheva
Rebecca and Ada
Billy and Carlos
Maybe they all could’ve joined the B.S.A.A.
Leon and an all grown up Sherry or Tougher Ashley lmao
I think they should put rebecca in again and some how billy as well I mean who wouldn’t want to see billy and rebecca kicking ass again I k ow I would and as for time I hope only 4 years but if it’s 8 then it most likely will be a totaly bitchn game
maybe they should have chris and claire or maybe better
…….
CHRIS AND LEON!!!!
that to me would be bad ass and what about you start out with a s&w magnum but then you get captured and all you wepons are taken away but they find 2 knifes
ehhh
IF they do come out with resident evil 6 why don’t a 4 player co-op chris lion jill and sheva and make the zompis harder and more guns
i say leon should be in Re6 if they make one he kicked ass in Re4. Re5 was okay it lacked a few things like better guns but i do like the magnums. im just saying leon should be in every Resident evil to come
i hope in Re6 that they put actual zombies instead of human with a little crazy in them. And let it be in the city again enough of this going across the world. just stay in a city and fight actual zombies. And you should also put Ada Wong back
Leon Should Be in RE6 but i dont think he should be the character u play as.
Maybe it could have all the characters in it, but they could introduce a new charcter, maybe someone u can create and lvl up, cimmerla to Rainbow 6: Vegas 2…
I heard that RE6 is goin to have a new character in it, and the beginning goes something like this………….
Ur Character wakes up it prison[maximin prison] and u have to talk to the guard and tell him to come 2 u, then u knock him out, another guard run over to u and says what happened, and u have to replie, ”he sliped”, then when the guard runs of to find a medic, u grab the knocked out guards cell key, and u unlock ur cell and excape……..
but…..
when u turn around and look back at the prison, u see a simbol on the wall of the prison, and the simbol is from…….Umbrella!
so i dont know how they r goin to play that 1 out?
I also think that the game should start to get into modden time guns, vechiles, ect….
and a hell of a lot more ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to fight…….
Resident Evil 6 Billy Coen.
This is another idea of mine for the storyline for RE6:
Chris, sheva, jill and josh make there way home after beating ‘wesker’ but on their way they get blown out of the sky, by a mysterious figure…..
When chris wakes up from the crash, he see’s that Josh is dead, chris then gos to help Jill an Sheva out of the reacked chopper, when they r out of it, chris looks around and see’s that they have crashed at a univercity, sudenly a horde of running zombies come at you, after u kill them a nother horde comes, Chris, jill and sheva are out of ammo!
Then……. Bang, Bang, Bang!,the zombies fall to the ground, another horde comes, Chris turns around and says ‘Who just shot them”? Then the horde of zombies get shot again, when they are dead, chris, jill, and sheva, hear and noise behind them,suddenly a soilder comes to them and tells them to come with him, as they walk to the Univercity more 5 more soilders come out from the bushes,’we’ll take you to our captin”, when they get to the security room at the univercity there is a person sitting at the desk it’s……… Leon
Leon tells Chris that The person who shot the chopper down and who infected the Univercity is…..Ada.
8 or 4 years are too long…capcom please don’t disapoint me
4-8years??? if it is gonna be that long you mind as well not make it! you should show chris ,jill, and sheva and all those charictors in it.
ill be like 21 and not care anymore about resident evil anymore. if you are gonna make it that advanced that it takes 4-8 years you should put it on the 360 or wii so it doesn’t take that long. i would very much like if barry was in it or one of the main characters. i really want to see barry again. barry was my favorite character. and don’t show leon or ada or any of those characters. i thought RE4 really warped all of those characters up so please don’t disappoint me by showing them or any more new characters. id like if you could go back to the regular zombies like in resident evil code veronica. i motley gust want you to use chris, bring back barry as one of the main characters and don’t disappoint me by making it that long.
i think that in re6 we shuld be reunited with billy coen, barry burton, and steve burnside. along with many other characters, such as leon (kill him off) and possibly ada. and maybe sherry. oh and claire.
oh and have normal zombies again. the new things suck
I hope it doesn’t take too long! If Resident Evil 6 is really gunna come out, I hope that the four of them (Josh, Sheva, Chris and Jill) will make it back safely and alive, and there is a new main evil character guy that was a friend of Wesker’s or something. Plus, I hope they make the game even longer! It was sad enough that Kirk, Raymond, DeChant, the entire Alpha team (except Josh), Dave, and all the other good guys had to get killed, but I hope that the worst that will happen (if any) is that one of them gets injured or something. I bet it will be awesome!
cm on!!! 4-8 years??? thats way too long!!! make it atleast 2-3 years. if you make it it should be co-op for sure with these pairs:
chris, jill,and barry
clare and billie
josh and sheva
and make it on xbox360!!! not the ps3. it should be co-op and not have leon or ada. and pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease bring back the reguar zombies. it should have 4 player co-op after you beat the game. i frome most to least whant these charictors back:
the regular zombies
chris
barry
jill
billey
If it’s going to take 4-8 years the game should be incredible.
maby you should have regular zombies and bad guys frome umbrella driving motercycles and stuff so you can still have enimies dryving vehicals. gust a sugjestion…
8 years is way too long for me. i think it should be 4 player co-op and you should be able to choose who you are. the characters should be billy coen for sure, chris, the new character (i heard there was gonna be one) and barry burton. i really miss him. 2 player co-op should be out of the question. and please dont bring back leon or ada.
oh yah, and make it on the 360. thats where resident evil should be.
gust put regular zombies and co-op and ill be happy
as long as barry is one of the main charictors ill be happy
I agree, RE6 should have the old zombies again, im not really a good fan of the new breed, And triple the amount of zombies you have to fight, like a real zombie battle,
If they do decide to have a new character, he could be a umbrella soilder, and he gets kicked out of the company, but they blank his memory, and your have to do the missions but you also have to find your own survivers and take the battle to the zombies, also trying to find out y umbrella kicked you out, and kill the zombies for good………..
lmao x Box?
please resident evil was born on da playstation if any thing keep games like kingdom hearts, resident evil, capcom vs marvel, and francise games like tekken on playstation xbox justs sucks
Another hunk mini game would be awesome
ps3 sucks. it should be on the xbox. it would be much easier too make too.
They’re rebooting the series. Meaning we’ll meet new characters dealing with new tales…. stories that are products of old stories. I think it’d be best that way. They can’t keep using the same characters over and over… maybe if they were DEVELOPING the characters, but let’s face it… there isn’t a whole lot of personality flying around in the Resi Evil world. I think the most I’ve really seen was Claire in the CG movie.
Maybe the new characters could have run ins with the older ones.
I think it’d be nice if the game was longer… less one-roaded. Where you can do this and do that and it all adds up to one ultimate goal… you just have options… which is where the older characters could come in. Go fight a bunch of zombies holed up somewhere OR go to some warehouse to investigate… you go to the warehouse and a familiar face is there or something… you know…? Something… better…
Oh… and no more Ada. AND no more character meetings that are too coincidental. Leon running into Ada in Europe? Stupid. Claire being at the airport with the outbreak where Leon appears to save the day? C’mon!
8 to 4 years is too long for me ill be 23 and like whts his name said ill be done playin games if u make it then u need to have leon s kennedy in it and leave chris and sheeva out of it bcuz they werent that great
I heard from some guy I was talking to online that Wesker has a twin. He said his uncle worked on the games. So if that’s true Wesker will hopefully make a reappearance.
well “ic meiner” thats the point. gears of war great game. if it takes capcom 8 or so years to make this it will mean this will be the perfect game. Hopefully
I reckon if its gonna take 8 yrs to do then atleast include all the characters and do a single story for them but based on the same mission. And bring bk the Zombies! I think they should also make it gorier too :S . Like day of the dead or somthing. Or maybe Dead Space like.
So, I heard that they may be using brand new charecters, this may be the reeason it will take so long to make the game, and if it is brand new charecters, I am not buying it.
Hell, we have charecters that are missing such as Steve! Can I get the classics with a side of zombie, please?
I think they should bring grown up Sherry into RE6. And maybe Leon, Claire..Maybe Ada? If Wesker’s in it, I’ll buy. And maybe a new character and/or bad guy.
hallo i am joni I want knew when re5 come dick I am from georgia and here aro only demo version re 5 for Xbox 360
I can barely read your message, but, Resident Evil 5 came out…I want to say 2 months ago? Maybe 3? That’s when I got it anyway. Lol. But, I have a 360 and I live in Colorado, it may be different.
4 TO 8 YEARS?????? FUCK THAT!! MAKE IT 1 OR 2 YEARS OR ILL BE LIKE FUCKING 40 YEARS OLD AND NOT BE INTRESTID ANYMORE.. AND NO ONE ELSE WILL ETHER!!!!!!!! DONT FUCKING PISS ME OFF CAPCOM:(:(
look….i mean wesker…when it comes to high octane killing sprees life like animations and well just look at shevas uh hum ….yeah keep it goin like that ..it may not be a final fantasy , but i believe its the next best series. this has game has facets that anyone can appreciate. if you dislike it, its cuz your not good at it…and the minigames are you kidding i play mercs on re5 more than the chapters…its off the proverbial hook…i look forward to 6…7..as for tha live actions movies….well..they suck
oh yeah whoppa koolaid….it messed up but but when im at school and see ya know urban peeps chillen in a group i just wanna pop some heads
lmao
why the why only xbox????????? RE5 would have been longer if it wasnt for xboxs shitty small discs, plus re started on the playstation. and jeff how wouldit be easier to make?? your retarded
yea they need to bring back the original zombies no more of this parasite charge at you bullshit and i also think the setting should be back in the inner city when the RE franchise was the best (RE 2, 3). capcom needs to stick to the roots because they are completely getting away from the survival horror which made the games what they were now its just a simple action game keep shooting and youll win
im not dissin RE 5 its a great game but capcom needs to bring back the survival horror, keep the incredible graphics but stick with the roots
O yea and some puzzles and stuff to figure out RE5 didnt have any of that which was disappointing as well
I just tried out the Resident Evil REmake and it is amazing, we need more of those…I mean, you would think with all the graphic technology we have, we could make a fucking scary ass game, but, I do not see it happening.
I started playing RE when I was 17 on the PS1, man time flys eh.
I really will be an old man by the time the new one comes out. lol
Guess I will start playing the series from number 1 again to kill the time.
i think that resident evil 6 should be number 1 in the mansion again, 2 player co-op jill and chris and in the same syle as resident evil 5
there not bringing back the old zombies, it wouldnt work. what would they say? they lost the research? unless it takes place betwwen 1-4, then they could have the old zombies
They alredy have like 3 games for Resident Evil 1. Lol. I keep hearing that Resident evil 6 (if it will be named so)may be a whole new game entirely. New charecters and all that.
But, I also hear that Wesker has a clone and they may incorporate him in there.
I guess ideas are still up in the air.
they should make it old school. and make it in the mansion again and real zombies thats the 1 wat made resident evil. a really liked the giant snakes and spiders u dont get any of that any more.
they should do the 2nd one of the los illuminados insident! that one ROCKED! RE4 was and always will be the BEST in the sceries!
this resident evil 6 should be more like resident evil 4, the mysterious cult thing and island theme really did present some good puzzles and please bring back some old characters
oh and what the hell kind of puzzles can you get in a city.. couple of barred doors maybe a padlock or 2?
pssh.. think about it for a moment and maybe you’ll understand why capcom is moving on from city themes.
Make re6 or going to sue your ass bitch because I’m not waiting 8 fucking years to wait that long i would take 1-2 years but 8 years is kinda stupid of your company’s part by the way.
I think they should have all the characters back in there from all the Resident evil games Chris redfield ,Jill valentine ,Claire redfield,Barry ,Leon kennedy just all of them and then make it like you can choose the 2 players who you want to play and make it co-op like 5 and put wesker back in there with the huge tyrant from resident evil 1
if the game designer are having problem thinging of ideas here is some ideas of my own:
1. Bring back the normal zombies, you might think these new zombies are mad, but nahhh!!!, if ya wanna put real zombies, make shore you have to verse heaps, not just little groups of them, have hordes.
2. Maybe they could introduct a new character, or you can create a character, they could give you the character’s name and storyline, but you can like costomise their looks and clothing.
3. Must have a ass kicking storyline, maybe you could be a special forces that worked for unbrella, and they kick you out for some reason but they blank your memory you can only remember your name, an you must survive all the zombie and try to find out why umbrella fired you.
4. You can help survivers, if they are hurt you can aide them, and if they get bitten they die for good.
5. A new full mad boss to battle, someone mean, dangerouse and cool.
I’ve got a mad storyline and idea’s for RE6:
You are a special Forces captain, you and you team get sent into this little town to rescue any remaining survives, you have to last a couple of week, and if some gets bitten they will turn and die for good, and it also mensions that during the story, so say if, “Bob” dies in mission 6 because you and your team didnt pretect him, then when there is a cut screen then he wont be in it, and you can menion it to you team that he died and that, It would be a true survival, you gotta work together, or your on your own, and you wont last long because each day the zombie horde grows bigger and bigger, and introduce a new bad guy boss.
I would like it if they made a Resident Evil Online sort of deal, but, I mean, Everything is usable, can go into any building, that sort of thing. Something like Oblivion
for RE6 i think capcom should have HUNK for the next bad guy or they shold have him on a dlc for RE5 for the mecenerys
I think that Altiear idea of resident evil 6 is awesome…..I think it would be good to have all the charecters to come together. Also, they should make it so that we can choose who we wanna be. And you should have like a four player type thing where 4 friends can come together and play as diffrent charecters. The zombie part i the best….enough with the plagues, lets put back zombies..thats what startes it all and thats how it should end.
I don’t even know if:
A) I’m still going to be alive then, (I’m under 20, yet I’m scared to die… -.-)
OR
B) I’ll still be interested in RE games
hmm…
i think with resident evil 6 they should do a prequel to resi 1 and get the slow zombies back i would love to play as barry with his dodgy voice acting XD
and i dont know i do actually like the sound of 4 player co-op a bit like l4d and i think a good weapon system would be good like when you start the game you should be able to pick out of a list if you are coming from the stars military base and at the end of every mission you can upload your score like if it took you so long to complete and how many zombies you encountered and killed and you could upload them to some leaderboards or even to the website and you collect points and over time if you get alot of points you can buy new weapons and costumes.
oh and if there would be a problem of it being a prequel just tell me lol
i think that they should not make a 4 person co-op because it would just be mayhem, everyone would need anno for the first runthrough and i doubt there would be enough zombies for my liking. i have played all of the resident evil games and my favourites are nemesis, just the whole thing where you just turn a corner and he is standing there scared the shit outa me and veronica is one of my favourites because of the general creepiness amd the puzzly solving.if they combined these two i would be very happy.
