An update about Capcom’sResident Evil 9by well-known leaker Ryan, – commonly known as Dusk Golem or AestheticGamer, – has revealed a bit of detail into what to expect from the next title in the long-running franchise.Resident Evil 9has been long rumored to be under development for a 2025 release, with no official word about the game from Capcom yet.
Resident Evil 8came out back in 2021 and the game also received a DLC in 2022, titledShadows of Rose.Resident Evil 9is now stated to present a new story arc and not a direct sequel toResident Evil 8.
Resident Evil 9 Under Development With the Biggest Budget in the Franchise
Resident Evil Village, the seventh main title in the franchise came out in 2021, and the the game’s DLC,Shadows of Rosewas thought to have ended the Winters family storyline. While there has not been any official word from Capcom about the next title, well-knownResident Evilfranchise leaker, Dusk Golem has come out with a couple of updates with respect to the next title.
Ryan, better known as Dusk Golem, has previously provided several accurate leaks in the past about theResident Evilfranchise. Recently, he sat down with fellow leaker The Snitch’sDiscordserver and clarified one of his previous statements with regard to the next title in theResident Evilfranchise. Both of them were of the similar opinion that the next title would not be a direct sequel toResident Evil 8, which was a sequel toResident Evil 7.
One of the two major updates related toResident Evil 9was that the title has been under development since 2021 which is the longest in the franchise, and also being developed with the highest budget used in the franchise. This is also bound to makeResident Evil 9the biggest title in the franchise yet, which is also not expected to be released anytime before 2025.
Resident Evil 8and the as of yet unannouncedResident Evil 9were both said to be planned together, to close out the storyline of the series. Golem mentioned that the DLCShadows of Rosewas not planned earlier and the storyline doesn’t take away anything from whatResident Evil 9was planned to bring back in 2018.
Resident Evil 9 Could End the Current Story and Start a New Story
The other point made by Golem was that Capcom could consider makingResident Evil 9as a final chapter to the current story arc. The game could also take the franchise in new directions and start a whole new story for future titles.
Earlier this year, Capcom released a remake ofResident Evil 4, which received mixed reviews by both critics and fans. The title was released back in March this year, and at the time of writing, the game has a critic’s score of 93 and a fan rating of close to 8. The remake is also getting a free DLC for PlayStation VR2, titledResident Evil 4 VR Mode, which is scheduled to arrive this winter.
Fans have been quite optimistic about what’s to come in the future titles, with one fan commenting on the Reddit post stating how the character of Rose could return with another familiar face for a “final blowout story” and that they’re excited forResident Evil 9regardless of how it goes.
Another fan commented how Rose could team up with Chris Redfield in the next title, as yet another user replied by saying there is still the “plot point about the BSAA using bioweapons and how Chris deals with that.”
Regardless of how the story continues in the franchise, or if the next title starts a brand new story by itself, fans seem to be waiting for the nextResident Evilgame with bated breath.
