Capcom recently dropped some news about the future of the Resident Evil franchise, revealing that a new game is currently in development. This announcement comes as no surprise, considering the popularity and success of the series. Director Koshi Nakanishi expressed his excitement for the new project, stating that it was a challenge to decide on the direction after Resident Evil 7 but ultimately feels confident in the direction they’ve chosen.
While it’s easy to assume that this new game will be Resident Evil 9, Nakanishi stopped short of confirming this information. With rumors circulating about remakes of Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, it leaves room for speculation on which installment Nakanishi will be overseeing. The leaked title, Resident Evil 9: Revenant Shadows, has been floating around, but until an official confirmation is made, fans can only speculate.
Nakanishi reflected on the shift back to horror with Resident Evil 7, acknowledging the feedback from fans about the series losing its scare factor. Embracing the roots of the franchise, Nakanishi emphasized the importance of creating a truly terrifying experience for players. If he is indeed leading the development of Resident Evil 9, fans can expect a return to the dark and eerie atmosphere that made the series a household name.
As a fan of slow-burn horror, I share the sentiment of wanting a more suspenseful and tense experience in the upcoming Resident Evil game. While Resident Evil Village had its moments, it leaned more towards action than horror, straying from the survival horror elements that defined the earlier games in the series. With the promise of revisiting the classics like Resident Evil 2 and 3 on PC, there is a glimmer of hope for a nostalgic and spine-chilling installment in the franchise.
PC players are in for a treat with the release of the original 1996 Resident Evil on PC for the first time. Additionally, the upcoming remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3 are stirring excitement among fans who yearn for the classic survival horror experience. However, the absence of any news regarding a remake of Resident Evil – Code: Veronica leaves room for speculation about the future of the beloved series.
The future of the Resident Evil franchise looks promising with the announcement of a new game in development. With Nakanishi at the helm, fans can expect a return to the horror roots that made the series a fan favorite. As anticipation builds for the official title and release date of the new installment, players can look forward to a spine-chilling experience that will bring back the essence of the original Resident Evil games.
