During the Capcom Next 2024 showcase, Capcom has announced that it’s now working on a new Resident Evil game. However, Capcom stopped short of confirming whether it’s Resident Evil 9.
“We’re making a new Resident Evil. It was really difficult to figure out what to do after [Resident Evil] 7,” said director Koshi Nakanishi. “But I found it, and to be honest, it feels substantial.” Nakanishi went on to explain that he couldn’t give any further details, but can’t wait to share more when the time is right.
