Koshi Nakanishi, known for directing ‘Resident Evil 7: Biohazard’, has been named as the head of this new project. While specific details about the game’s plot or release window were not disclosed, Nakanishi expressed enthusiasm about the direction of the new title. “It was really difficult to figure out what to do after [Resident Evil 7],” he stated, “But I found it, and to be honest it feels substantial.”
