Capcom ei ole virallisesti julkistanut peliä Resident Evil 9, mutta huhuiluahan se ei estä. Tietovuotelija Dusk Golem on sitä mieltä, että seuraava Resident Evil on avoimen maailman peli.
Huhut ovat tietenkin vain huhuja, mutta ajatus avoimen maailman Resident Evilistä kuulostaa varsin uskottavalta. Sehän pelisarjalla on vielä kokeilematta.
"So here's a little tidbit I'll share. Capcom often will greenlight new initiatives in threes closer together.
"Decent examples are RE7, RE:2 & DMCV were all greenlit fairly close together to take advantage of their new RE Engine, and the idea to remake RE:2 inspired them to also take on RE:3 & RE:4 for a remake initiative.
"Dragon's Dogma 2 expanded RE Engine functionality for open world games, the two other games building on this tech is Monster Hunter Wild & Resident Evil 9.
"All three project goals [sic] has been to retain the series DNA," Golem added. "Dragon's Dogma 2 is still clearly Dragon's Dogma, Wild is still clearly Monster Hunter, same will be true for RE9 [with] Resident Evil."
