Resident Evil 9 will bet on introducing new characters or retaking the story of old acquaintances.
Just a few days ago Resident Evil Village offered new details of its expansion shades of rose through a new trailer that showed the powers of the protagonist, daughter of Ethan Winters, 16 years after what happened in the original story, when she herself struggles to survive. Now, Capcom has announced that this new chapter in the eighth game of the main saga will mark the end of the story of the Winters family.
Kento Kinoshita, director of the work, explained to IGN that the development team is “creating the Shadows of Rosa Rose story to conclude the saga of the Winters family”. However, the end of the Resident Evil saga is not planned, so It is unknown what direction this will take in its ninth installment.
Producer Masachika Kawata says Capcom can’t”absolutelyshare any details about what lies ahead for Resident Evil, so It is unknown if the next main game in the series will star entirely new characters or bring back a familiar face..
Resident Evil 9 could arrive in 2024 or 2025
Leon will return to work on Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil Village will end with a time jump of 16 years with Shadows of Rose, so familiar characters like Chris, Leon, Claire or Jill are going to be much older now. Still, Capcom could choose to narrate the future of any of these characters, although for many players it would be much more interesting to start a story with unknown faces in a different direction for the saga.
The first rumors indicated that the development of Resident Evil 9 began in 2018, although it would not be until 2024 or 2025 when its premiere would take place. It should be remembered that the renewed Resident Evil 4 It will be released next year, while the latest games in the saga will now arrive on Nintendo Switch.
