Rumor: Resident Evil 7 could be coming this year

With the recent releases of Resident Evil HD Remaster and Revelations 2, Capcom is on the right track with their beloved franchise. Fans have responded wonderfully to both titles, with the common request being that Capcom should follow Revelations 2’s foundation for the next big, numbered sequel. Said sequel could be coming this year.

A recent report by research firm Super Data states the following in regards to the current state of the industry in sales:

We anticipate this month’s downturn to level off during the coming few months, following a regular seasonal pattern but expect to see an upswing as the next editions of several major franchises like Halo and Resident Evil come out in the 2015 fall season.

It’s been three years since Resident Evil 6 hit. For those that think it’s too soon perhaps, remember that in the same year we got Resident Evil 6 we also got Revelations, Darkside Chronicles HD and Operation Raccoon City. So, a 2015 release for Resident Evil 7 wouldn’t be out of the question.
