In addition to the announcement, Capcom provided a teaser website for Project Resistance and promised an announcement video on YouTube set to air September 9 at 8 a.m. PDT/11 a.m. EDT.
Gematsu used a thumbnail extraction tool to find some thumbnails for said video, which can be seen below.
Project Resistance will also feature as part of Capcom’s Tokyo Game Show presentation from September 12 through September 15, though what days it’ll be shown off aren’t known.
Given the nature of the announcement and the project title, it seems reasonable to assume this won’t be Resident Evil 8. Instead, it’s probably one of the other side projects Capcom mentioned it was working on earlier in the year during one of its surveys.
It could even be the mystery project Capcom recently recruited people to help test from its RE fan group.
Resident Evil has had an interesting life, to say the least, with plenty of experiments and mutations of its own. While not all of those have worked out the best, Capcom seems on track to finding that sweet spot between innovation and what fans want.
While Project Resistance isn’t an RE3 Remake, Capcom’s recent trends suggest it’ll still be something to help continue pushing the series forward.
