Resident Evil 9 has just been confirmed by Capcom, to everyone’s surprise. A first statement that has fans burning with impatience.
As expected, Capcom held a small live event to talk about its upcoming games. No Monster Hunter Wilds on the agenda, the publisher had warned, but the much-hyped return of Dead Rising, which will return in excellent form. We were also able to take a look at the company’s new IP, Kunitsu Gami, an intriguing mix of action game and tower defense, but also Resident Evil with a new port of the seventh opus, but not only that.
A new Resident Evil confirmed by Capcom!
As is often the case, a little surprise sneaks in at the very end of the stream without warning. While Kōshi Nakanishi, director of Resident Evil 7, was talking about the new port, he made an announcement that fans will surely like: A new Resident Evil is actually in the works. “We managed to obtain some interesting information”the voiceover tells us before the man appears in front of the camera again. “We are working on a new Resident Evil”says the game director. It’s official, a new game is coming and we are not talking about a remake here, although we hear a lot about a certain Code Veronica remake. Not here This would obviously be a brand new game.
We will have news soon, please be patient
We suspect that Resident Evil 9 is obviously being developed by the same team that brought out RE 7, one of the best in the franchise. Enough to warm up and reassure fans of the license who have rediscovered in this seventh installment the essence of the license: survival and fear. However, no further details have been given, not even the name. If we call the game Resident Evil 9 here, it is only because it is the next main game and there are many rumors about it.
We’re already talking about a semi-open world game in which Leon would occupy a visibly important place. Lots of hall noise and no concrete information. The only thing we know now from a reliable source is that a new game is in the works. There’s no doubt that we’ll hear about it soon. Game Director Kōshi Nakanishi confirms that he can’t say anything more at the moment, but he’s excited. “I look forward to the day when I can share these details with you.”he finishes.
We are just waiting for it too.
