Despite mixed reviews of Resident Evil 6 , the Resident Evil series does not appear to be dead, or even zombified. According to a former employee of motion capture studio House of Moves, Resident Evil 7 is in the works. This news comes by way of a LinkedIn profile, which states that someone worked as the costume designer for Resident Evil 7 . If this is true, the game is certainly further along in development than just the planning stages.
House of Moves is a Los Angeles based company that has aided several different video game development studios in the past. They have done motion capture for games like Halo: Reach , God of War II , and Call of Duty: Black Ops.
For now, this news is just a rumor. Capcom has not commented on this leak and has no official statement to make regarding a possible Resident Evil 7 . However, Capcom representatives have been saying that Resident Evil is not a dead franchise for some time now. Specifically, Capcom has been talking about “returning to the roots” of Resident Evil for awhile.
