I believe the current rumor is that a CV remake is in the works.Capcom seems to be alternating between mainline and remake, so it stands to reason that they're going to do another remake after Requiem.
I suppose it's too late to say it made a comeback since it's been back for like 8 years now but the late 2000's and early 2010's were mostly a pretty grim time to be an RE fan imo.
People don't remember that there was a lot of serious doubt that we'd ever get an RE game that actually tried to be scary and slow, requiring a bunch of resource management, because survival horror games in that mold were basically dead.
