Managing director Keiji Inafune tells Spanish gaming
site the publisher is working to get survival horror sequel to market
"lo antes possible," will tailor next Devil May Cry for Western
audiences.
For Resident Evil 5, Capcom upped the speed of the series' zombie-like
hordes. For Resident Evil 6, the publisher might be upping its own pace
to match that of the series' maddened adversaries.
News of Resident Evil 6 could arrive soon.Speaking with Spanish gaming site
3D Juegos,
Capcom managing director Keiji Inafune addressed current plans for a
number of its familiar franchises. According to a GameSpot translation,
when asked about Resident Evil 6, Inafune said Capcom wants to release
the game as soon as possible in light of Resident Evil 5's
great success.
Though the developer quickly moved on to other subjects, he did tease
that news about the next installment in the survival horror series could
arrive soon.
Inafune also talked about the possibility for a Devil May Cry 5. He said
that when development on the game starts, it will probably be designed
to appeal more to Western audiences. While the series has done well in
Japan, Inafune said that Devil May Cry franchise sales in North America
and Europe haven't been especially high.
As for a new Onimusha game, Inafune's response no doubt included more
laughter than fans of the series would have liked. The developer said
that nobody ever asks him about the series except the Spanish gaming
press. He then jokingly suggested that if there is a next episode in the
series, it would surely be set in Spain.
