Resident Evil 5 the last of its kind, RE6 will be reboot
Resident Evil 5 may mark the end of an era. Producer Jun Takeuchi says that the game is “the last of its kind” and that “a reboot is in order” for Resident Evil 6. Completely new gameplay, or completely new story? Will we at least finally be able to shoot while mobile?
Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Xbox 360) may mark the end of an era. In an interview with 1UP, Producer Jun Takeuchi says that we’ll be seeing a reboot when the next game comes out. Here’s an introduction to the interview by James Mielke:
In what is destined to be the first genuinely epic game of 2009, Resident Evil 5 is practically guaranteed to be the last of its kind, with the game’s producer, Jun Takeuchi, assuring us that a reboot is in order for the inevitable Resident Evil 6.
That’s not to suggest that there’s anything wrong with the evil at hand. Quite the opposite; it’s awesome fun, and we’ve beaten the game from beginning to end, and have a week’s worth of detailed, insider info for you to enjoy.
“The last of its kind”? “A reboot is in order”? Are we in for completely new gameplay, or a completely new RE universe? Will we at least finally be able to shoot while mobile? We’ll know by tomorrow, when 1UP releases the full interview with Takeuchi.
