This may be good or bad news depending on your enjoyment level of RE5, as Resident Evil: Raccoon City producer Masachika Kawata recently told MarcaPlayer in an interview that RE6 will mark a ‘complete reinvention’ of the series.

Apparently, Capcom isn’t even sure if they’ll stick to the survival horror genre or go for a more action-oriented experience, the latter of which RE5 seemed to embrace. This suggests the title is early in development, too.

The series will see a complete renovation with the next entry on every level. But we can’t forget about all the previous entries that have led to the creation of many possibilities for the franchise.

I think Resident Evil 5 took the Gears inspiration a little too far. A return to the series’ roots would be welcomed.
