D.C. Douglas’s Resident Evil run culminated with TEPPEN in 2019. He states that his final gig with Capcom was a 2-day test performance-capture shoot in 2020 (not a game). He explains that negotiations for future projects did not align with mutual goals, and that casting decisions can be shaped by practical logistics and economic considerations.
READ: WHY IS D.C. DOUGLAS NO LONGER WESKER?
The Rumor that he was fired for leaking Resident Evil 4 artwork or breaking an NDA is False
READ: NO, DC DOUGLAS DID NOT BREAK AN NDA
Direct clarification of the “leak” rumor
No. D.C. Douglas was not fired. A former fan posted a defamatory Reddit claim that he leaked Resident Evil 4 artwork. The conflict that preceded the post, including calling out the former fan’s operation of a “fans of DC Douglas” Discord server created in his name without permission, led to “bad faith actors” creating and amplifying the story. All digital fingerprints point only to the anonymous Reddit user as posting the artwork. A comprehensive search for the first appearance of the leaked image can be traced to only that Reddit account.
