I don’t want to surprise anyone, but gaming companies make big announcements at E3. I know, sit down and stay cool. One gaming company that will evidently be doing this is Capcom who it is now rumored will beannouncing a sequelto one of their major franchises. The big twist? It will be in the hands of a Western developer.
Capcom has already gone on record saying that it won’t be trusting new IPs to Western developers afterBionic Commandofailed to relaunch andDark Voidflopped, but they are evidently willing to trust one of their major franchises to them. This rumor comes fromGarnett Lee’s latest Weekend Confirmed podcast, in which he discussed Capcom’s trust in Western devs by saying, ““Boy, their E3 bombshell puts that to test. I’m not going to spill it because I don’t want to make anyone mad, but boy their E3 bombshell puts that to test.”
The two franchises that pop into mind for me areResident Evil, which lostits previous directorandDevil May Cry. I’d say it is most likely the former, but I don’t know how that will work out for the franchise as it might mean that it will head even more towards the action stylings ofRE5, and that would be sad.
