Here’s how they explained the situation regarding the project as learned from the official website for the City of Sudbury:
“The city, which was one of the filming locations Welcome to Raccoon City, will receive $2 million CAD from the provincial government for the project, which is being developed by Raccoon HG Film Productions. The same production company was behind the 2021 film.”
While it is unknown if the film could be a sequel, it appears to be titled “The Umbrella Chronicles» at this point in time. This was also the name of a 2007 video game, and furthermore it is equally unknown if there is any connection. But Welcome to Raccoon City definitely left the door open for an additional sequel. The film in particular included a rather interesting scene with Albert Wesker. Other specific details about this film project, including the cast or crew, have yet to be revealed.
