new resident Evil is on the way, Capcom confirmed yesterday. At the Capcom Next event on Monday, the Japanese company announced that a new installment in its famous saga about survival horror It is already in development. Details about it are scarce, if not non-existent, although some have already dared to predict that it is the expected result. Resident Evil 9 and not a remake of any previous game.

The only thing that is specific is that the next one resident Evil will be responsible for Koshi NakanishiDirector RE7The announcement at the end of the event was made by Nakanishi himself, although he decided to play a mystery and did not provide any information other than the news itself.

“We are working on a new one resident EvilIt was very difficult to understand what to do after Resident Evil 7but I found it and, frankly, it seems reliable. “I can’t share any details yet, but I hope you look forward to the day when I can,” he said.

That’s all that’s been officially mentioned about the project in question. Nakanishi’s election and what he says about the “new resident Evil“It was enough for a significant part of the public and the specialized press to assume that this name Resident Evil 9.

Another indication that this might be Resident Evil 9 it would be that Capcom probably won’t continue so much caution in the announcement, if it was a “simple” remake. But, as we said, until there is more concrete news, we can’t rule out any possibility.
