  What's kept the Resident Evil series going for 25 years, in my opinion, is threefold:
  
  
  
  1) Updating the games to keep up with the latest trends.
  
  2) Taking fan praise and criticism to heart.
  
  3) The developers and other members of Capcom's staff pouring their hearts and souls into the work they do.
  
  
  
  We hope fans will continue to enjoy the series!

  Producer

  The Resident Evil series is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and it's all thanks to you!
  
  
  
  Support from fans all over the world has allowed us to expand the series and take it in new and exciting directions. I can't begin to thank you all enough! Here's to another 25 years!

• Yasuhiro Ampo

  Director

  It's hard to believe it's been 25 years since Resident Evil first clawed its way into the gaming world and introduced players to survival horror.
  
  
  
  We've done a lot to flesh out colorful characters and creatures, and we hope to keep the series going for years to come!

• Kazunori Kadoi

  Director

  I worked on the original Resident Evil back in the day, and if you had told me then that I'd still be working on the series 25 years later, I probably wouldn't believe you.
  
  
  
  What's kept me going all these years is the love and support fans continue to show the series.
  
  
  
  I hope we can keep making games that shock and horrify (in good ways!) for years to come!

• Morimasa Sato

  Director

  When I played the first Resident Evil game back in the day, I was just a young boy naive to the world of horror.
  
  Now I've been totally consumed by its games and movies!
  
  That obsession's led me to work on the Resident Evil series, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
  
  
  
  I'm working on the next entry, Resident Evil Village, and this is my first game as a director. Please enjoy it!

• Tomonori Takano

  Art Director

  When I played the first Resident Evil as a kid, I was blown away by how realistic horror games could be.
  
  And now, 15 years later, I'm not only still playing the games, I'm making them too! I'm so happy the Resident Evil series is celebrating its 25th anniversary!
  
  
  
  The games hold a special place in my heart, and I hope they'll continue to do the same for other fans going forward!

  I'd like to congratulate the Resident Evil team on their 25th Anniversary!
  25 years is a long time. It has been a true pleasure watching Capcom embrace new technologies and find new ways to advance storytelling and gameplay over the last 4 console generations. I can‘t wait to see what Resident Evil Village will be like on PlayStation 5!

  Congratulations for 25 years of Resident Evil! I remember when the first Resident Evil came out, I was so happy to see how popular it was on PlayStation. Thank you also for creating an amazing PlayStation VR experience with Resident Evil 7 biohazard! Now I'm really looking forward to Resident Evil Village. I hope to support Resident Evil as it continues to evolve!
