Jun Takeuchi’s Message to Resident Evil Fans Worldwide
Jun Takeuchi, via Capcom‘s European page on Twitter, extended a message of gratitude towards RE’s dedicated fan base. In his message, he noted that Requiem has now reached over 6 million players worldwide. Also, he promised the team will continue to bring wonderful experiences to gamers in the future.
“To our beloved fans of the Resident Evil series, Today marks the 30th anniversary of Resident Evil. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the fans who have supported us along the way since the release of our first game on March 2241, 1996.
“Last month, we released Resident Evil Requiem. With the return to Raccoon City, the place where it all began, we combined the two hearts of the series—horror and action—and packed them both into one title. And now, Requiem has reached over six million players around the world. Thank you all so much.
“Our team will continue to work hard to bring all of you even more wonderful experiences in the future—and it would be an honor if you continued along with us on that journey.
Thank you again for your support.”
