I did see some Japanese rumours that they might be starting to divert resources to some of their smaller/dormant franchises since we are getting an Okami sequel and a new Mega Man side game. Hopefully we get some Dino Crisis and Ace Attorney news within the next couple of years.

they already released onimusha and it exceed their expectation so im a little hopeful. but considering they do already make dino crisis remake before scrapping them its harder for them to justify getting another go at it…

Again, I don’t want to get your hopes up, but the previous rumours about the smaller franchises were based on job postings/hires Capcom was making around 2023/2024. A couple of the team postings specifically had people speculating that there might be a Dino Crisis project of some sort coming, and then we got the Windows port of Dino Crisis 1 and 2 right after, so I don’t think it was for that project. They might be working on porting Stalker and 3 before working on 4, who knows, but I don’t think we hear anything about the franchise before late 2027.
I will say, the new RE Engine architecture seems to really be working for them. They seem to be able to be able to port their older games more easily, and a lot of tech debt they were struggling with previously is gone. I never thought I was gonna see Ghost Trick outside of DS, and yet they just dropped it on the Switch like it was nothing.
