Jun Takeuchi’s words are being misinterpreted, with some claiming that he said Resident Evil series will end in 10 years. That’s not what he said. Takeuchi-san said: “With Requiem, which was released this year, I feel that the first ten years have reached a certain stopping point, so I think things will be settled in the next ten years / or I think a conclusion will be reached in the next ten years.” When asked how many new titles will be released over the next ten years, he said: “I can’t say because it would take away everyone’s enjoyment, but it’s not going to be just one. There will be multiple titles.” This means that the storyline that began with RE:2, which he mentioned earlier in the interview, will eventually reach a conclusion. Requiem is more like a pit stop marking the end of this 10-year period. The series itself will continue. And besides, the events of the Shadows of Rose DLC take place in 2037, which already goes beyond the next 10 years.
