Three years have elapsed since the launch of “Resident Evil Village,” and fans of the spine-chilling franchise are eagerly looking forward to what comes next. However, anticipation continues to build with no word on a sequel. A well-known insider has hinted that it may still be some time before we receive any official news regarding “Resident Evil 9.”
The tight-lipped approach from Capcom has left many speculating about the direction of their acclaimed horror series. Following the release and subsequent expansion of the “Resident Evil 4” remake, there has been a notable silence surrounding the franchise. Despite this, the arrival of a successor to “Resident Evil Village” seems almost certain, though details of its reveal remain shrouded in mystery.
Potential Delay in Resident Evil 9 Reveal
According to gaming community discussions, AestheticGamer, also known as Dusk Golem, let slip there’s a lack of clarity about when the next installment in the Resident Evil series will be announced. Previously, sources indicated a reveal plan set for 2024, with the actual game launch envisioned for 2025. Whether these timelines remain accurate is no longer certain.
Inside whispers suggest a reshape in Capcom’s release schedule due to an internal postponement of Resident Evil 9. Such shifts are not out of the ordinary but they could jumble the established unveiling schedule. Consequently, Capcom might prioritize another Resident Evil title that could catch the audience off-guard.
AestheticGamer withheld specifics regarding this mysterious upcoming Resident Evil game. Emphasizing the speculative nature of this information, he acknowledged his sources are varied and, at this point, he is unable to elaborate further.
As Capcom contemplates not only introducing new entries to the franchise but also considering additional remakes, rumors speculate about a potential pivot to an open-world format with Resident Evil 9. However, these remain unconfirmed and the accuracy of such claims along with the prospects of a new kind of gameplay experience is yet to be determined.
