While Street Fighter 5 was praised for its gameplay, many weren't happy with its bare-bones content. It is no secret that when Capcom released S treet Fighter 5 back in 2016, the game only received lukewarm reviews. As such, another break could be useful as a way to ensure that the next entry is as strong as the other recent titles.Īdditionally, the announcement of Street Fighter 6 instead of another Resident Evil game may be better because the Street Fighter franchise needs Capcom's attention more than Resident Evil right now. The time between these two games allowed Capcom to return to the drawing board and really think about the direction of the series, resulting in Resident Evil 7 saving the franchise.

It is worth remembering that the five-year gap between Resident Evil 6 and 7 helped save the franchise from demise. However, the prolonged focus on Resident Evil increases the risk of Capcom compromising its quality for the sake of striking while the iron is hot. Of course, given that Resident Evil remains Capcom's most successful video game franchise, it is not surprising that the studio is trying to capitalize on its current popularity. While it is worth pointing out that Capcom did release games from other franchises outside Resident Evil in the past few years, it is safe to say that the survival horror franchise has been the company's focus. Not to mention, the studio is still developing a DLC expansion for Resident Evil Village. Ever since the release of the Resident Evil 2 remake in 2019, Capcom had been popping out Resident Evil games every year, with Resident Evil 3 remake dropping in 2020 and Resident Evil Village launching in 2021.
