The Resident Evil series have been on a decline ever since Capcom turned it into a fast-paced action franchise in Resident Evil 4. In fact, the last Resident Evil trilogy has adopted this new genre setup that it has left the fans disappointed.
Even so, Resident Evil 7 will be looking to return to the series’ traditional horror genre just like how it was back in the first Resident Evil game, all the way to Resident Evil 3. This was suggested after a screenshot of Resident Evil 7 got leaked online and it showed the game returning to Racoon City.
Racoon City is the location back in the series’ first trilogy and it suggests the return of horror as well. If this is true, then fans will have something to smile about with Resident Evil 7.
At the moment, Resident Evil 7 is being developed by Capcom and it is unsure if the game will continue from the events of Resident Evil 6 or is a remake of the entire first trilogy. However, we can expect Capcom to spill the beans on this in the near future.
