Capcom Is Teasing Something With A New Countdown

Capcom gamers have enjoyed some amazing games in recent months. Capcom’s games have been a great choice for Capcom fans, whether it be Resident Evil 3D remakes or new entries to the horror series. Capcom is now offering something different to its fans: a strange countdown. 

Perhaps as a Valentine’s Day surprise, Capcom tweeted out a random link today and upon clicking it, you’re brought to a relatively blank screen that features a countdown both in days and in hours. At first glance, it’s not really teasing anything, except the inescapable loss of time that will soon come for us all one day. Upon closer examination, many fans noticed that it is very similar to Capcom’s Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village fonts. 

Now, don’t get too excited about Resident Evil 9 or whatever it ends up being called – there’s virtually no way Capcom is announcing that at the end of this countdown. Village, for one, was released just last year, and Village DLC has been confirmed by Capcom already. With that said, it wouldn’t be surprising if DLC awaits us on the other end of this countdown. 

It could also be the highly-rumored Resident Evil 4 sequel. It would be great to use a lengthy countdown, such as the current six-day one to generate hype about it. Especially if Capcom continues to tease as the countdown gets closer to zero. However, it is possible that this countdown does not relate to Resident Evil. It could be something Resident Evil related. 

Important to keep in mind is the possibility that this might be related to Capcom’s Street Fighter Series. Three days later, the countdown will end for Capcom’s Street Fighter Pro Tour. The company may be ready to unveil Street Fighter 6 or other aspects of its long-running fighting series. We will only know when.
