<p>2021’s <em>Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City </em>blended together the stories of the first Resident Evil game and its sequel, Resident Evil 2 (<a href=”https://www.gameinformer.com/review/resident-evil-2/the-greater-of-two-evils#:~:text=Capcom%27s%20remake%20gives%20Racoon%20City,t%20diminish%20Resident%20Evil%27s%20intensity.” target=”_blank”>which received a fantastic remake in 2019</a>), and while it wasn’t a complete knockout hit, some have been asking for a sequel. It seems one might be on the way. </p>
<p>According to a new report on <em><a href=”https://www.sudbury.com/local-news/province-pledges-11m-toward-greater-sudbury-economy-6803973″ target=”_blank”>Sudbury.com</a></em>, a news organization that covers the Greater Sudbury area in Canada, which is where <em>Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City </em>was filmed, Sudbury is receiving an $11 million injection from the provincial government, as reported by <em><a href=”https://www.pcgamesn.com/resident-evil-welcome-to-raccoon-city-sequel” target=”_blank”>PCGamesN</a></em>. This government is funding 20 local projects through the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation and while a sequel to <em>Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City </em>hasn’t officially been named as one of those 20 projects, there is one called “Umbrella Chronicles,” and it’s receiving $2 million. </p>
<p>If you’re familiar with the Resident Evil series, you know “Umbrella Chronicles” is likely a nod to <a href=”https://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2016/11/10/resident-evil-and-rhythm-heaven-now-available-on-wii-u-virtual-console.aspx” target=”_blank”>The Umbrella Chronicles spinoff game</a>. Add in that the film company behind “Umbrella Chronicles” is Raccoon HG Film Productions, the same company behind <em>Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City,</em> and the picture gets a little clearer: we might be getting a sequel. </p>
<p>It’s important to note this isn’t an official confirmation of a sequel. Perhaps Raccoon HG Film Productions is making a different Resident Evil movie unattached to <em>Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City. </em>Only time will tell. </p>
