Resident Evil Creator Says His Future Games Will Be Inspired By Coronavirus Pandemic

The creator of the Resident Evil series, Shinji Mikami, claims that his future games will be inspired by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic has had a major impact on the gaming industry since its initial global outbreak earlier in 2020, resulting in annual events such as E3 and BlizzCon seeing cancellations and events such as Summer Game Fest and IGN’s Summer of Gaming appearing in their absence.

As multiple games have seen delays as developers transition to working from home, some creative minds within the industry, such as Resident Evil series creator Shinji Mikami, have seen inspiration from how the world has reacted to countering the virus.
