Though the architect of Capcom’s Western developer outsourcing strategy may be gone, Capcom is still keen on farming out their biggest titles to smaller studios. A document acquired by Kotaku seems to point to a new Resident Evil title being created by SOCOM developer Slant Six Games. Slant Six did the grunt work on the PlayStation 3’s SOCOM: Confrontation, in addition to Tactical Strike and Fireteam Bravo 3 for PSP.
The document points to a team-based Resident Evil title, which sounds right up the studio’s alley. The rumored title is Resident Evil: Raccoon City.
In early March, the company was hiring for a Japanese interpreter. Its current website also list the studio as working on an "an amazing new project" with a “new publishing partner on a world class franchise."
Will this new title be a spin-off, like Survivor, Dead Aim, Outbreak, or Umbrella Chronicles? Or is this the next proper Resident Evil being shopped out to another studio, like the upcoming DmC: Devil May Cry by Ninja Theory?
