Development Division 2 is described as a "service-orientated business rather than a sell-through orientated business" which will develop an online focus for a few of Capcom's leading game titles.

A demonstration of such a Capcom developed experience has already been on show via Sony's PlayStation VR - previously known as the Project Morpheus.

"In this terrifying world, you can twist and turn as you like, but there's no escaping the creatures closing in on you". The video game publisher and developer's Development Division 1 unit, which houses the group behind the Resident Evil series, is building out a brand new engine that'll support the development of virtual reality experiences.

Takeuchi stressed that this does not mean Division 1 has abandoned games development entirely, adding that VR titles will be created "while simultaneously developing titles for current game consoles". Additionally, since when has a light gun Resident Evil game ever worked?

Pay a mere $1 or more to unlock Strider, Resident Evil Revelations 2 - Episode 1: Penal Colony, Lost Planet 3, and Bionic Commando: Rearmed.

The Japan-based company looks forward to having the positive response it got from their "Kitchen" VR technical demo, which has been showcased at last year's E3 event.

The Resident Evil development team at Capcom has confirmed it is "focusing" on virtual reality game projects. Included in the document is a message from Jun Takeuichi, head of Development Division 1 and producer of recent Resident Evil titles, who said the team is working on a VR engine.

The outlet further explained that one good reason why "Resident 7" could possibly be released with VR technology is how CapCom somehow slipped that the team is working on a VR horror game.
