2021’s Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City blended together the stories of the first Resident Evil game and its sequel, Resident Evil 2 (which received a fantastic remake in 2019), and while it wasn’t a complete knockout hit, some have been asking for a sequel. It seems one might be on the way.
According to a new report on Sudbury.com, a news organization that covers the Greater Sudbury area in Canada, which is where Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City was filmed, Sudbury is receiving an $11 million injection from the provincial government, as reported by PCGamesN. This government is funding 20 local projects through the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation and while a sequel to Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City hasn’t officially been named as one of those 20 projects, there is one called “Umbrella Chronicles,” and it’s receiving $2 million.
If you’re familiar with the Resident Evil series, you know “Umbrella Chronicles” is likely a nod to The Umbrella Chronicles spinoff game. Add in that the film company behind “Umbrella Chronicles” is Raccoon HG Film Productions, the same company behind Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City, and the picture gets a little clearer: we might be getting a sequel.
It’s important to note this isn’t an official confirmation of a sequel. Perhaps Raccoon HG Film Productions is making a different Resident Evil movie unattached to Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City. Only time will tell.
