Resident Evil 9 has just been confirmed by Capcom to everyone's surprise. A first statement that will make fans burn with impatience.
As expected, Capcom held a small live event to talk about its upcoming games. No Monster Hunter Wilds on the program, the publisher had warned, but the very notable return of Dead Rising, which will be back in great shape. We were also able to see the company's new IP, Kunitsu Gami, a mix of action game and intriguing 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 often happens, without warning, a little surprise slipped in at the very end of the stream. While Kōshi Nakanishi, Director of Resident Evil 7, was talking about the new port, the latter made an announcement that will certainly please fans: a new Resident Evil is indeed in the works. “We managed to obtain some intriguing information”the voiceover tells us before the man reappears on camera. “We are working on a new Resident Evil”says the Game Director. It's official, a new game is coming and we're not talking about a remake here, even if we hear a lot about a certain Code Veronica Remake precisely. No, here It would clearly be a completely new game, Resident Evil 9? “After Resident Evil 7, it was really hard to decide what we were going to do next. But we found it and honestly, we feel a certain satisfaction” says the developer.
We will have news soon, be patient
The one that we suspect to be Resident Evil 9 would therefore visibly be developed by the same team that gave birth to RE 7, one of the best in the franchise. Enough to warm up and reassure fans of the license who found in this seventh episode the essence of the license: survival and fear. However, no other information has been given, not even the name. The only reason we're calling the game Resident Evil 9 here is because it's the next main game coming and rumors are flying about it.
We're already hearing about a semi-open world game, where Leon would have a visibly important place. A lot of rumors and no concrete information. The only thing we know from a reliable source now is that a new game is in the works. No doubt we'll hear about it soon. The game's Director, Kōshi Nakanishi, confirms that he can't say anything more for the moment, but that it tickles him. “I look forward to the day when I can share these details with you.”he concludes.
We are also just waiting for that.
