lies ahead, you win over your fears and continue on is at the heart of survival horror games. That combined with a game rich in characters and drama is the basic concept behind the <em>Resident Evil<\/em> series. Capcom\u2019s DNA is defined by rising to the challenge of crafting that which is both clearly interesting and of value; inheriting this, with each instalment in this series we devise yet unexplored fear that delivers an impact. In keeping step with the evolution of each game console generation, we endeavor to deliver the maximum of what is possible at the time. I believe this is the main reason for the steadfast support from fans over many years and why the cumulative sales of the series has exceeded 100 million units.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p mT15\">March 2021 will mark the 25<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of <em>Resident Evil<\/em>. At the root of our development philosophy is the idea that we are constantly attempting new things, and as such we are approaching this new installment with the aim of providing players the world over with a new survival horror experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"mT45\">A desperate battle in a photorealistic world<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p mT10\">Targeting a 2021 release, Capcom is currently working hard on the development of <em>Resident Evil Village<\/em>. This game, which hides the roman numeral VIII in the title logo, is both the direct sequel to and conclusion of <em>Resident Evil 7 biohazard<\/em>. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ir\/assets\/images\/data\/oar\/2020\/\/management\/img_village_023.png\" width=\"400\" class=\"fLeft\" style=\"margin:15px 20px 15px 0;\">Based on the concept of &#8220;desperation,&#8221; we have broadened the range of strategies players can attempt to employ in their effort to survive. To increase the immersive sensation of being in the game, we have continued to employ the first-person perspective, or &#8220;isolated view,&#8221; from the previous game. Furthermore, we\u2019re working to maximize the performance of next-generation consoles and have optimized game data to reduce loading times to an absolute minimum. On top of that, through synergizing high-definition graphics with 3D audio we aim to depict a frantic battle with an overwhelming gameworld unlike any seen before.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p mT10\">In developing the game, we continue to employ Capcom\u2019s proprietary game engine, the RE ENGINE. The engine and content have been wholly integrated, and the game has evolved along with the engine. We have high expectations that players will be amazed by the smooth controls and immersive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"comment01 clearfix\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ir\/assets\/images\/data\/oar\/2020\/\/management\/img_village_013.png\" class=\"photoarea\">\n<p class=\"name mT10\">Peter Fabiano<\/p>\n<p class=\"pos txt14 mT10\"><em>Resident Evil Village<\/em> Producer<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"prof mT15\">Joined Capcom in 2008.

Worked as producer on <em>Resident Evil 3<\/em> and now on this title alongside Tsuyoshi Kanda.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p mT15\">Though <em>Resident Evil<\/em> originated in Japan, it was decided that English would be the main language for this global title. The series is so well known in America that mentioning the survival horror genre alone evokes images of <em>Resident Evil<\/em> among many people. In working to capture fans around the world with new horror experiences, we consider the culture and preferences of not only Japan but also the various countries in North America, Europe and elsewhere in order to develop the optimal content and promotions.<\/p>\n<\/div><!--\/\/comment01-->\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"mT45\">Maximizing allure for a global market approach<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p mT10\">Our mission as producers is to cooperate with the team members in development, management and global marketing to maximize the allure of our games and communicate that to the world. This series has an overwhelmingly large market share in Europe and North America, and as we approach each region there is a special focus on North America.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p mT15\">As the shift to digital in global markets progresses, we are now also implementing a sales strategy to further increase the share of digital sales of <em>Resident Evil Village<\/em>, taking into account the significant growth in market share of the PC in the Asian region.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p mT15\">In addition, as development and promotion are taking place amid this year\u2019s COVID-19 pandemic, we are prioritizing the health of our team members by shifting to an online system when collaborating on production with people overseas and have made online-centered promotional activities our core, global policy. All of which is to minimize potential project delays while maximizing the effects of promotion.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p mT15\">Long-term, we would love to see this title reach 10 million units globally! All of us here are working\u2014even, &#8220;fighting desperately&#8221;\u2014hard to make this title one that will be etched in the memories of our players as the best survival horror experience ever; the perfect tribute to the series\u2019 25<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><!--\/\/container-->\n<\/div><!--\/\/mainsent-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"developer\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h2>Capcom game development and sales\u2014<br>\nworking toward success<\/h2>\n<\/div><!--\/\/container-->\n\n\n<div class=\"comment02 n01 mT45\">\n<div class=\"container clerfix\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ir\/assets\/images\/data\/oar\/2020\/\/management\/img_village_015.png\" class=\"photo\">\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ir\/assets\/images\/data\/oar\/2020\/\/management\/img_village_014.svg\" width=\"466\" height=\"55\" alt=\"Project management\"><\/h3>\n<div class=\"inrBox\">\n<h4>Building a game means building an organization<br>To create the pinnacle of horror, we need the right people in the right roles<\/h4>\n<p class=\"mT15\"><span class=\"scap\">Preparing the environment and people to move projects forward<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"name mT15\">Makoto Kadono<\/p>\n<p class=\"pos mT10\">Deputy General Manager of R&amp;D Department 1,<br>Consumer Games Development Division 1<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p mT25\"><em>Resident Evil Village<\/em> is truly an amusement park of horror, and with an eye toward a 2021 release, our development team is engaged in our own &#8220;desperate fight&#8221; to put together all sorts of horrific, exhilarating elements for our fans to enjoy. The most important element of Capcom\u2019s craftsmanship is people. It\u2019s precisely because we maintain an environment that enables each and every member of the development team\u2014made up of several hundred people\u2014to demonstrate their capabilities that amazing games get made. My job is to collaborate with the producers and at times use my experience as a programmer to offer advice, all while keeping an eye on progress and cost.

Rather, we aim to maximize sales and improve brand value by first conferring with distributors and our development division to release a title at the optimal time and price, based on analysis of both market research and past data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p mT15\">This title represents a new era of <em>Resident Evil<\/em> on next generation consoles. By providing a fresh experience perfectly suited to the dawning of a new era, and leveraging the series\u2019 25 years of rich history, we aim to give it the best kickoff possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><!--\/\/innerBox-->\n<\/div><!--\/\/container-->\n<\/div><!--\/\/comment02-->\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"comment02 n01 mT45\">\n<div class=\"container clerfix\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ir\/assets\/images\/data\/oar\/2020\/\/management\/img_village_019.png\" class=\"photo\">\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ir\/assets\/images\/data\/oar\/2020\/\/management\/img_village_018.svg\" width=\"412\" height=\"55\" alt=\"Advanced game development\"><\/h3>\n<div class=\"inrBox\">\n<h4>Boosting creativity using technology to tackle game development hurdles<\/h4>\n<p class=\"mT15\"><span class=\"scap\">Optimal solutions for game creation<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"name mT15\">Bradley Saunders<\/p>\n<p class=\"pos mT10\">Technical Art Director<br>Advanced Game Development Section<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"p mT25\">What is it that creators want to express, and how can that be achieved?
