It was previously reported that Resident Evil publisher, Capcom, had been the victim of a recent significant malware attack that has led to over 1TB of files being held with a ransom of $11 million. The publisher’s failure to comply with the hacker’s demand led to the release of an email from within the company, which seemingly confirmed that development was underway for Street Fighter 6 .

Currently, Capcom only have two major officially announced titles slated for release with Resident Evil 8: Village set to release in 2021 and their new sci-fi IP Pragmata set to release on next-gen platforms in 2022.
