From what I was reading, they plan on handing it over to a western development team.

"Previously Capcom has indicated that sequels to its existing games will be created by external Western teams and original games will be created in-house in Japan. However, the likes of this autumn's Resident Evil 6 shows they're already playing fairly loose with that idea."
