In a recent interview with Planet Resident Evil, Senior Director of Communications and Community at Capcom USA, Chris Kramer, spoke about many things that RE fans have been asking about... the upcoming Wii rail-shooter Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, whether any more RE remakes will be made, RE5's DLC and merchandise, the next Resident Evil game, and whether a Western-developed Resident Evil will happen in future.

[Discuss in the Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles forum]

Chris Kramer: The idea of having external, especially western development teams, on games that have been primarily Capcom Japan intellectual properties is really new. So far, Bionic Commando is the first game to really hit using this new method of development and it’s something you’re going to see more of from Capcom in the future. But as we go forward and do more games along the lines of Bionic Commando, I think you’re going to see the company open itself up more to developers outside of Japan. So is it possible that some day a Resident Evil game could be done by western developers? Absolutely. We don’t have anything in the works now, but the kind of groundwork that has been laid by Resident Evil and Dead Rising 2 are definitely moving us and the company in a direction where those idea wouldn’t be so foreign.
