Resident Evil 9 officially teased
To celebrate 10 million players of the 2023 remake of Resident Evil 4 across all platforms, Capcom released a short video on social media. In the video, Ada Wong sets off the church bell in the game’s opening village, causing Los Plagas villagers to walk around with party hats on.
At the end of the video, Capcom teases the next entry in the series, Resident Evil 9. As the video ends, the camera lingers on wooden fences aligned in the shape of the Roman numeral “IX”. For those who don’t understand Roman numerals for some reason, that means 9.
Resident Evil 9 is expected to be the next entry in the series set after the awesome Resident Evil Village. While little has been discussed about the upcoming sequel, it’s expected to be another first-person take on the franchise with online leaks claiming vampires will play a prominent role in the game.
Alongside the next mainline game, Capcom is also said to be working on a remake of Resident Evil 5, the series’ controversial co-op entry. It’s not known what changes will be made to the remake, if the remake will remain a co-op game, or when it will release.
Capcom has been on one hell of a roll over the past decade, not just with Resident Evil but also its other projects. The studio’s recent release of Monster Hunter Wilds was so popular that it quickly became the company’s biggest release in its 40-year history.
Additionally, Resident Evil is now more popular than ever, as evidenced by the 10 million player celebration of Resident Evil 4 Remake, and we’re always excited to see what Capcom cooks up with the series.
