Even more, the staff of the Japanese studio is said to be made solely of former Capcom and PlatinumGames developers. The sources go on to confirm Minami’s status in the team and further reveal that the firm is now tasked with a larger project under Capcom.

Based on speculation, many fans have ushered the idea of potential returns to favored franchises from Capcom. However, known insider Dusk Golem or @AestheticGamer1 on Twitter disclosed that this unnamed project is neither Code Veronica nor Dino Crisis.
