Kotaku har fået fingrene i en række dokumenter, som synes at pege på at Capcom meget vel kan have hyret canadiske Slant Six Games til at stå bag det næste Resident Evil-spil. Slant Six Games er mest kendt for SOCOM: Confrontation, men japanske udgivere søger i stigende ekspertise hos vestlige udviklere, når det gælder de store spil-franchises. Capcom har overfor Kotaku tilkendegivet, at de principielt ikke udtaler sig om rygter og spekulationer.

A document forwarded to Kotaku indicates that a new, team-based Resident Evil game is currently in development at Slant Six. The developer is responsible for SOCOM:U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation for the PlayStation 3 as well as two iterations for the PSP, Tactical Strike and Fireteam Bravo 3. Named (or codenamed) in the document as Resident Evil: Raccoon City, Slant Six looks to be staffing up to bring even more zombie game development to Vancouver ..

.. Slant Six Games writes on its official web site that it is currently in development on “an amazing new project” that is unannounced. That project is being developed in conjunction with a “new publishing partner on a world class franchise.” Several Slant Six current and former employees list an unannounced “multiplayer action game” for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on their LinkedIn profiles.
